OMB at Career Days of Dozer Days!

OMB had the opportunity to lend a hand on the Career Day of Dozer Days at the Puyallup Fair this month! Dozer Days allows kids to explore construction equipment and actually operate it! A variety of vendors and activities were offered to showcase just how great the construction industry is!
 

This event aimed to spark the passion for trades at a young age and provide a great event that raises funds for multiple non-profits. We are so honored to have been a part of it this year!

On May 15, 2024, Olympia Master Builder’s Professional Women in Building crew joined in on one of Habitat for Humanity’s most popular and meaningful events, Women Build.

Women Build isn’t just about constructing homes; it’s about constructing dreams, breaking barriers, and empowering communities. This annual event holds profound significance in the realm of affordable housing and gender equity. OMB members were honored to have the opportunity to volunteer their time and apply their skills toward such an impactful project.
