A Message from Kristina Morse, President, CCW

Happy New Year! That may seem like a strange greeting considering that it is now March, but since the CCW Annual General Meeting was held on February 21st, we really are just at the start of our programming year. For those of you who were not able to join us at the AGM, you were missed! Full Story

Member Profile: Kristina Morse, President, CCW

I have been a member of the Canadian Construction Women since 2006.  My first meeting was the Annual General Meeting, where I watched Marg Latham pass the gavel to the incoming CCW President, Shelley Neil. I was so impressed with activities and members of the CCW that I joined the organization that evening and became a volunteer on the board soon after that.  I have enjoyed my involvement with the CCW for many reasons but first and foremost, because of the incredible network of women that I have met through our group.  I have enjoyed sharing ideas, providing and receiving support, and creating friendships with so many of you. I have also loved the opportunity to tour the landmark construction projects in our city and to see these buildings through the eyes of the people who brought them out of the ground.   OK, I have to admit that as a “suit”, it’s just cool to be able to wear a hard hat and steel toe boots!  Despite our many accomplishments, I think that there is even more the CCW can do to facilitate dialogue between members, and to provide mentorship to women at the early stages of their career in construction. These are two of the areas that I look forward to working on during my second year as our association President.
