The Steel Erectors Association of America (SEAA) is now accepting nominations for the SteelStrong Women in Construction initiative, which recognizes women that are advancing the steel construction industry.

The program is designed to showcase women serving in a variety of capacities, from ironworkers and field supervisors to project managers, executives, and business owners. 

• Nominations are due December 1, 2025, and can be submitted at www.seaa.net/women-in-construction.html

“Women are making their mark across every segment of steel construction,” said Tammy Dean, Chief Financial Officer of Gardner-Watson Decking and member of SEAA’s Marketing Committee.

“Through the SteelStrong Women in Construction initiative, we have an opportunity to recognize their leadership and highlight the value they bring to both their companies and the industry as a whole.”

SEAA is now accepting nominations for the SteelStrong Women in Construction initiative.
