Juli Bacon, a longtime member of the National Association of Home Builders’ Professional Women in Building (PWB) Council, has been sworn in as the 2017 chair of the council.
Bacon is the owner of JB Consulting Systems and Bacon Maintenance Services in Woodinville, Washington, as well as a partner in JJ BizWorks and a minority owner in Routec Industries. She is also a longtime member of the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties and the Building Industry Association of Washington, in which she was recognized as the Associate of the Year in 2005.
She has served as the Region E Trustee of the NAHB PWB for several years, and in that role she has helped form new local councils and bridge the gap between the council’s local and national levels. In addition to her national recognition as Woman of the Year in 2013, she has received similar recognition at the local level.
As the 2017 PWB Council chair, Bacon will manage the council’s business and represent its interests to the wider NAHB. She will also guide the council through the first year of its new strategic plan, in which she intends to build leadership strategies and set up a mentoring program for women in the construction industry.
“Ensuring that women understand they have a place at the table and helping them find a way to get to that place at the table in construction is really important to me,” Bacon said in a release. “We have a lot of young women wanting to know how to get there, and my goal as the PWB chair is to help them in the most efficient way possible.”
