The Manitoba Women in Construction hosted Jeanne Martinson, Author of Tossing the Tiara, Keys for Creating Powerful Women Leaders on Wednesday, March 15. The professional development session, held at WCA’s Construction Education Centre delved into how media and myth shape society’s beliefs about women – and women’s beliefs about themselves.

The event was sprinkled with engaging topics, speaker interaction, and collaboration between participants, allowing groups to discuss how outside forces like fairy tales, movies, and advertising are influencing women’s roles in work and life.

Thanks to Graham Construction, 50 registrants received a free copy of Martinson’s book, Tossing the Tiara.
