In this episode: Christi Powell and Angela Gardner welcome back guest Libby Mendriatta, NAWIC DC president and co-owner/EVP of Frisco Woodline, to discuss her free hands-on construction and STEM camp for girls and its immediate impact, including excitement about trades and career paths, mentorship, networking, and a returning camper who authored a construction-themed book. Libby shares how NAWIC builds confidence even for girls who may not enter construction and explains strategies for keeping a volunteer board motivated through relationship-building, fun balanced with accountability, and shared leadership. She outlines approaches to sponsorships and funding, including leveraging marketing credibility, board networks, and smaller asks, noting camp costs about $6,000 for 20 girls and NAWIC DC awards $10,000 in scholarships. Libby also highlights high-value events like coffee chats, Breakfast With a Champion, job site tours, golf workshops, and yoga, and invites listeners to connect with her on LinkedIn.
