Women in Construction Week 2025
Happy Women in Construction Week!
Since 1998, the National Association of Women in Construction creates a theme for organizations to host events throughout the country celebrating the contributions women make in the construction industry. The theme for 2025 is “Together We Rise.” If you are a member of the AEC industry, we hope you can attend an event taking place this week to empower and support women who choose careers in construction or affiliated with the AEC industry.
Celebrating Women in Construction Week
On Monday, a kickoff meeting for Women in Construction week was hosted by the New Jersey and Philadelphia chapters of Professional Women in Construction (PWC) and Princeton University. Tia Cristy, CEO, TEDx speaker and communications coach, was the keynote speaker. She held a workshop, “Building Bridges and Connections: Intentional Networking and Mentorship,” to PWC members.
Serving the construction industry for over 35 years
Before Steve Wouch and John F. Maloney formed our firm in 1989, both worked closely with contractors in the Philadelphia region by providing accounting, tax and advisory services. As the firm grew, our accounting team continued to focus on the construction industry and expanded our service offerings, team, and locations.
Empowering Women in Construction
We are cognizant of the important role women in construction offer throughout the year. Our first female partner at Wouch Maloney, Adrienne Straccione, CPA, CCIFP, is an active member of many construction organizations in the Philadelphia region. Adrienne serves on the board of directors as treasurer for the Philadelphia Chapter of Professional Women in Construction and is a member of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC).
In 2023, Adrienne earned her Certified Construction Industry Financial Professional (CCIFP) designation from the Construction Financial Management Association (CFMA). Of the 1,150 professionals nationwide, who hold a CCIFP designation, only 32% are women. To be eligible for the exam, you must have 4,000 hours of experience in construction-related activities. In addition, Adrienne was named to City & State Pennsylvania’s 2024 Power of Diversity: Women 100.
