“Vision, mission and values: sitting in a room with other highly skilled, dynamic and respected professionals, assuring PWC-CT continues to be a leader in providing quality programming, meeting member needs and making an impact on the youth of today is quite an honor.”

Van Zelm Engineers

“I joined the PWC-CT, and later served on the board, because it provided me the opportunity to further advocate for women and the underrepresented in this industry. Through PWC, I meet and engage with individuals from different backgrounds all working towards the same goal – safe project completion and client satisfaction. ”

“I have always been a person who likes to give back and pay it forward. My PWC-CT involvement allows me to share my experiences with new and emerging professionals and empower them through the awards program. PWC-CT also gives me the opportunity to meet people and stay current on community and industry trends.”

“Thanks to you Patty and Carlos and all of the PWC team! I’m sharing my deep appreciation for the fellow panel members – I am a learner and this event is perennially one of my favorite opportunities to learn about the present moment of the healthcare design and construction environment from folks who have new thinking on challenges we all share. I think that is why this event is always so well attended and enthusiastically supported.”
