Women in Deep Foundations Networking Reception

At the conference on Tuesday, October 12 at 6:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m., DFI's Women in Deep Foundations (WiDF) Committee will host their 6th Annual Networking Reception.  Industry professionals can mingle to connect with their female and male colleagues and enjoy the camaraderie, cocktails and great food.  All are welcome, but space is limited. The event fee is $25.00.

At the reception, the DFI Educational Trust will announce the recipients of the 2021 WiDF Professional Development Grants.  Grants are awarded to women involved in design and/or construction of deep foundations.  The award covers recipients' attendance at the conference, including conference registration and related conference expenses.

DFI's WiDF Committee comprises women and men who actively seek to enhance professional opportunities for women in the deep foundations industry. The committee's goal is to foster greater success and interest of professional women by promoting networking events, endorsing outreach and building mentoring relationships.
