SUMMARY:The Hard Hat Hustle
DESCRIPTION:Career Pivots & Power Moves with the Women Who Lead Construction\nWomen in Construction Week 2026\nConstruction careers rarely follow a straight line — and the most impactful ones are often built through bold choices\, unexpected pivots\, and a willingness to invest in yourself before the path is clear. \nIn honor of Women in Construction Week\, American Subcontractors Association of Michigan invites you to a candid luncheon conversation featuring three respected industry leaders who have built careers bigger\, broader\, and more influential than they originally imagined. \nThis is not a surface-level panel. It’s a real conversation about: \n\nHow careers actually grow inside the construction industry\nWhat it takes to step into leadership (and stay there)\nWhen to lean in\, when to pivot\, and when to bet on yourself\n\nOur panelists will share personal career stories\, hard-earned lessons\, and the strategies they’ve used to navigate leadership\, family dynamics\, visibility\, and long-term fulfillment — both inside and adjacent to construction. \n  \nPanelists\n\n   \n\n    Julie Byrne – President\, Veneklasen Construction \nLeadership\, longevity\, and navigating career growth alongside family dynamics in the industry. \n \n\n\n   \n\n    E.B. Sonheim – Director of Marketing\, Feyen Zylstra \nBuilding influence beyond a job title\, championing the connection between business and community\, and modeling leadership through authentic visibility. \n \n\n\n   \n\n    Jenny Waugh – Vice President of Economic Growth\, Grand Rapids Chamber | Past Chair\, ABC Board \nReinvention\, board leadership\, and what it looks like to pivot into new impact while staying rooted in construction and family business. \n \n\n  \nWhat You’ll Gain:\n\nReal insight on career pathways\, not highlight reels: Hear how these leaders actually grew — including the challenges\, missteps\, and turning points that shaped them.\n\nActionable advice you can apply now: From investing in yourself to finding mentors\, navigating networking\, and deciding when to say yes (or no).\n\nPerspective beyond job titles: Learn how leadership shows up across operations\, marketing\, ownership\, advocacy\, and community impact.\n\nConnection that lasts beyond the room: Built-in time for table conversation\, shared experiences\, and relationship-building with peers.
