CBH Homes Promotes Women in Construction at the House that She Built Event.
Idaho’s largest builder hosts Girl Scouts of Silver Sage and the public during a day of promoting women in construction.
All girls in the community are invited to join CBH Homes at their House that She Built Event
Boise, Idaho, Oct. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CBH Homes, Idaho’s leading home builder, is thrilled to announce the return of “The House That She Built” event and in 2024 is launching a new addition to make it even better. Last year, CBH Homes hosted 300 Girl Scouts and quickly realized the need to open it to the entire community was apparent.
“We were awestruck last year. The turnout of Girl Scouts blew us away and inspired us to open it up to all girls in the community,” said Ronda Conger, Vice President of CBH Homes. “We’re passionate about showing girls that construction is a rewarding and promising career.”
Inspired by the children’s book “The House That She Built” by Mollie Elkman, this interactive event empowers young girls to explore the exciting world of construction. The book, based on a true story of an all-women built house in Utah, highlights the diverse skills and people involved in building a home.
This year’s main event, open for all girls, will be held on Thursday, October 12th, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at CBH Homes’ newest community, Spring Shores in Nampa, Idaho.
With a workforce comprised of 70% women, CBH Homes is committed to fostering a more inclusive construction industry. “The House That She Built” event provides a unique platform for girls to:
- Engage in hands-on activities: Girls will participate in a mini construction project, providing a tangible experience of the building process.
- Connect with industry role models: Meet and learn from successful women in various construction roles, gaining valuable insights and inspiration.
- Tour a CBH Home community: Explore a real-world construction site and witness different stages of the home building process.
- Enjoy fun giveaways: Receive exciting takeaways, making the experience even more memorable.
