Thank you to all who attended our 2nd Annual Breaking Ground: Women in Real Estate and Construction event!

March 31, 2026

Along with 70 professionals from DBI Projects and beyond, we were joined by four esteemed guests, leaders in each of their respective areas of practice

These incredibly insightful and accomplished individuals were interviewed by members of the DBI team, sharing personal insights on navigating the complex challenges women face in both the workplace and on the construction site:

· Jill Hayman, Private Practice
· Kirsten Youngren, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill
· Giuliana Benedicty, Mega Contracting
· Nelly Vasquez, Turner Construction

Their involvement and candid responses to the questions are what made the event so special.

We are already looking forward to next year’s 3rd Annual event. Please let us know if you would like to be invited to this and other future events!

Start the conversation.
