This marks the first Chicago-based program of its kind held in conjunction with Women in Construction Week. Women in Construction Week is observed nationally to highlight the contributions of women across construction fields, and this program brings that focus to the roofing industry within the Chicagoland market. Hosting this inaugural event during Women in Construction Week reflects ongoing efforts within the sector to expand access to training, leadership development, and professional resources for women. “Women in Construction Week is about visibility and impact, and Women Raising the Roofs: Chicago Style creates a platform for both,” said Sarah Sutton‑Shouse, Director of Service Operations at Raincoat Roofing and event presenter. “Women have long contributed to the roofing industry, and this event provides an opportunity to highlight that involvement.”Women Raising the Roofs: Chicago Style is expected to serve as a foundation for continued collaboration and professional development opportunities for women in the roofing field.
