Women in construction

The Women in Construction Group was launched formally on 21 September 2007 at the Hong Kong Club.  The launch party was attended by 90 guests.  Teresa Cheng SC, who is also an engineer and perhaps one of the best known women working in and for the construction industry, was the guest speaker.  The launch raised more than HK$50,000 for the Lighthouse Club’s charities.  The response to the launch of Women in Construction has been overwhelming and adds both a new dimension and new thinking to the Club. 

The aim of the Women in Construction Group is to create a forum for new ideas to assist women within the construction industry.  Its monthly and quarterly events allow women a greater opportunity to network with fellow construction professionals.

The Group will support the Club’s charitable work through fundraising initiatives, social networking and educational activities. Thus, the Group furthers the objectives of The Lighthouse Club.

The Group also addresses specific site safety concerns relating to women.

The Women in Construction Group holds monthly get togethers on the third Thursday of every month at selected venues.  It also holds quarterly networking and fundraising events.
