SEAA to Honor Steel Strong Women

The Steel Erectors Association of America (SEAA) will recognize exceptional women working in steel construction during the 2025 Women in Construction Week (March 2-8, 2025).

Currently, the association is seeking nominations. The deadline to submit is January 7. Make nominations online.

To kick off the campaign, the SEAA Marketing Committee selected a logo designed by Dani Carville, Safety Coordinator for SEAA member-company S.L. Chasse Steel, Hudson, New Hampshire.

“Being an ironworker has long been viewed as a man’s profession, but these days more and more women are working in this industry. They are competent and skilled and it’s time to celebrate that,” said Carville.

“We want to highlight women working in all aspects of the industry—from field positions to executives,” said Tammy Dean, Chief Financial Officer, Gardner-Watson Decking, Oldsmar, Florida, and member of the SEAA Marketing Committee.

The nomination form asks for information about the nominee’s professional achievements, contributions to a team or project, examples of her leadership, mentorship, or collaboration, her contributions to community, as well as personal qualities.

Nominations are open to anyone, whether the individual is working for a SEAA member or not. Finalists will be featured on SEAA’s social media channels during the 2025 Women in Construction week.
