Shore Builders Charters State's First Professional Women in Building Council

LAKEWOOD, N.J. - April 20, 2016 - PRLog -- Shore Builders Association of Central New Jersey, Inc. (SBACNJ) is proud to announce the formation and charter of the state's only Professional Women in Building Council. Officially named Professional Women in Building of the Garden State, this council was formed to offer members of the homebuilder's associations throughout the state an organization dedicated to supporting the professional development of women in the home building industry. All current members of any state association are invited to join this new council.

The PWB of the Garden State will provide direct member services through education and training programs, as well as networking opportunities, and community outreach. Among their first initiatives will be partnering with Northern Ocean County's Habitat for Humanity for National Women Build day on Tuesday, May 3^rd where members will assist in building a handicapped accessible deck on a home in Toms River. In addition, the council will be collecting school supplies to support United Way's "Tools for School" school supply drive.

According to the newly appointed President of the PWB of the Garden State, Giovanna Pergola, "We are honored and thrilled to accomplish our goal of chartering the first PWB council in New Jersey. Our members are looking forward to participating in the community projects, as well as the professional development programs that are supported by the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) Professional Women in Building." Pergola continues, "While we are still in the early stages of establishing our council, we are seeking members, both male and female, who own or work for companies that are currently members of a state builders association."

In addition to community outreach projects and professional development, the PWB of the Garden State will support the overall building industry by mobilizing its membership to assist efforts spearheaded by local, state and national builder's associations.
