Lisa Laronde, president of the Canadian Association of Women in Construction (CAWIC) was recently recognized as one of Canada\u2019s most powerful women by the Women\u2019s Executive Network (WXN). WXN unveiled its award winners in late October 30 and recognized 103 women for making a transformational difference in their fields and actively shaping a more inclusive future.<\/p>\n

Laronde, president of RSG International, was appointed to the CAWIC Board in 2021 and became the association\u2019s president this past July.<\/p>\n

The awards committee noted Laronde\u2019s influential speaking engagements and podcast appearances, her passion for building psychologically safe work environments, and her business acumen as reasons for her inclusion on this year\u2019s list.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am grateful for this honour and would like to congratulate all of the fellow award winners who are being recognized for their outstanding contributions,\u201d said Laronde. \u201cThere\u2019s no doubt that together we are stronger and our voices and collective actions are helping to advance our communities, our industries, our country, and each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of all of us at CAWIC, I want to thank Lisa for her unwavering support and action to help shape a more inclusive world. We have continued to see Lisa\u2019s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout her leadership at CAWIC,\u201d said Kristen Hallberg, president-elect at CAWIC. \u201cThere\u2019s no doubt that her words, actions, and legacy are helping to create a stronger foundation, not only for CAWIC but for the construction industry as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n
