Dr. Barbara Jackson inspires 2023 Empower Conference attendees
Barbara Jackson, Ph.D., FDBIA didn’t begin her career lifting women up. In fact, she spent 20 years in industry as a chief estimator, senior project manager, and CEO of Design-Build Services Inc., and another 15 years developing design-build and integrated project delivery education at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, CA.
Never having widely participated in “women’s only” activities previously in her career, she began to recognize the need for women to step up, and step out, in the construction industry. As a longtime advocate for cultural change of the construction industry, she began to see a clear correlation between the industry’s transformation and its leadership.
So, we were thrilled when Dr. Jackson was confirmed as our keynote speaker at the 2023 Empower Women’s Leadership Conference on March 9 in Seattle, WA.
Dr. Jackson’s two presentations served as rousing calls to action for everyone in the construction industry, especially women, to stand in their own power and to generate their own future.
She was kind enough to provide us with her keynote slides which you can download via the links below.
