SEATTLE, WA — In March of 2025, McKinstry joined industry peers in celebrating Women in Construction (WIC) Week. Started by NAWIC and now in its 27th year, WIC Week shines a light on the vital contributions of women in the industry, raises awareness of challenges faced and highlights pathways for future opportunities.
To celebrate, McKinstry employees across the country gathered to screen the documentary Women of Carbon. The film features women professionals thriving in built environment industries. These professionals are redefining our relationship with carbon by repurposing living materials, reengineering waste into valuable chemicals that clean the climate and driving decarbonization.
Following the Seattle showing, McKinstry’s Caroline Traube, Principal and Director of Zero+ decarbonization planning lead a panel discussion with employees and other women professionals to discuss the impact of the film and work.
