Meet the Professional Women in Building

Meet some of the outstanding NAHB Professional Women in Building (PWB) and members of the PWB Council. PWB is the place to network, learn about professional development and find support for your career.

This is what they had to say about developing leadership and business management skills that boosted their industry success.

“PWB members are an amazing combination of bright, talented strong individuals with a wealth of knowledge pertaining to our industry. By teaching, sharing and assisting others we make a difference by guiding them and offering our expertise.”

Karen Schroeder, 2021 Chair, NAHB Professional Women in Building Council

“No matter what they say, it’s the drive inside of you and how deeply you want it, that makes the magic happen.”

Angelica Rivera, 2021 Trustee, NAHB Professional Women in Building Council

“When I moved across the country from Florida to California, I joined my local PWB Council and the connections I made became the foundation of my professional network. The exposure to industry professionals and support system provided by PWB would have taken years to cultivate on my own.”

Emily Boyd, 2021 Trustee, NAHB Professional Women in Building Council

“The Professional Women in Building Council is the ‘go to’ place to find the sharpest minds in the housing industry. Hard-working, honest, kind, giving and diligent are the words that come to my mind when I think of PWB members from around the country. Get involved and make a difference for yourself and thousands of women in the housing and construction industry!”

Betsy Sheppard, Immediate Past Chair, NAHB Professional Women in Building Council

“Professional Women in Building is the ‘home’ to women working from the field to the C-suite, and all of us in between, who contribute to support housing for America. The incubator organization for women in leadership, PWB builds industry knowledge, connections, confidence, and ultimately business. And that’s our superpower.”

Meg Thompson, 2021 Second Vice Chair, NAHB Professional Women in Building Council

“When you understand that your purpose in life is not for you, the easier and more fulfilling the journey will be.”

Kerry White, 2021 Trustee, NAHB Professional Women in Building Council
