Meet Laura Bassett, energy program manager for F.W. Webb Co. She believes the PHCP-PVF industry provides tremendous career potential, as evidenced by more and more women entering the field daily.

Meet Stacey Ayers, Regional VP of Sales for Marcone Plumbing. She believes there are initiatives and actions that can be taken to better support and empower women in the plumbing industry.

Despite having a reputation of being a male-dominated industry, the PHCP-PVF supply chain is full of impactful women. Celebrating Women’s History Month, Supply House Timesis highlighting 10 influential women who are leading the industry to great success.

Women make up only 29.5% of all salespeople and about 29% of the manufacturing workforce in the U.S. PHCP-PVF industry is still male-dominated, but efforts are being made to achieve better representation and diversity. It's important to engage and empower employees to grow their careers.

The event aimed to help the Girl Scouts complete a The House That She Built Girl Scouts patch, encouraging their interest in construction and raising awareness of opportunities in the trades.

It is often said that the key to happiness is gratitude. November seemed like the perfect time to reflect on how grateful we are to be in this amazing industry, how grateful we are for the women that came before us.

Culture seems to be all the rage in the corporate world today, or maybe that’s just because I read a lot about it, and because we really focus on it being real. At Eastern, we have a healthy desire to have a positive impact on the lives of people we come in contact with. One of the ways we foster this is through our 28 Fundamentals, or as we call it, The Eastern Way.
