LeChase was a proud sponsor at the 2018 Chix Dig It event on Thursday, June 22 at North Hills in Raleigh, NC. The event celebrates women in construction, and the luncheon is designed to uplift and celebrate women in the construction, engineering and design fields, while giving back through scholarships. This year’s event specifically recognized amazing women of engineering, The Hidden Figures: The Untold Story of Women in Engineering.
“The panel of women was truly inspiring,” said LeChase Sr. Marketing Manager Valerie Bono. “There were stories of adversity, hope and inspiration – and, of course, a bit of humor.”
In addition to listening to the incredible panelists, the event honored Mrs. Emily Brown Blount – the very first woman engineer in the State of North Carolina!
LeChase attendees included Denise Thompson, Kathryn Payne, Stuart Short, Jack Goodrich and Valerie Bono.
Proceeds from the event support the Serving 4 Success Scholarship Fund to benefit young women pursuing a career in engineering.
