January 2012
The sixth annual Women in Construction conference was held Wednesday, November 2, 2011 at the 1777 F Street conference facility in Washington DC. Over 140 women and men from the construction, consulting, insurance and architectural industry met to discuss negotiations skills, work-life balance, health care construction and system upgrade implementation. Internationally known construction engineer Allyn Kilsheimer was the featured keynote speaker.
Co-founded by Ober|Kaler’s Barbara Werther, a construction litigation attorney for over 30 years, and Barbara Wagner, Executive VP at Clark Construction, the mission of the Women in Construction conference is to provide an avenue for younger women to learn from those who are "more seasoned" and to offer networking and mentoring opportunities to all attendees.
“Barbara Werther and Barbara Wagner have done a terrific job with the Women in Construction conference,” said John Wolf, Chair of the firm and a principal in Ober|Kaler’s Construction Group. “They’ve put together a program of impressive substance and have developed a loyal group of constituents. The firm is proud of their efforts.”
