Arlene Dedier, Principle & Executive Vice President, Project Management at Avison Young, will explore the challenges and opportunities women face in a male-dominated industry of real estate and construction. It is important for companies to work towards gender equality in the workplace. By understanding where we have come from and the evolution of the industry, the shifts towards progress can come from the most unlikely places. Arlene's journey navigating the construction and real estate industry over the last 25 years will speak to the past and the future of women in construction and real estate. Light dinner and drinks will be served
