Six years ago, Women in Stone was launched – creating a bond among ladies in the stone industry to not only form friendships but to assist them to further grow in their business endeavors
In 2014, an excited group of women met at a gathering during Coverings, which was sponsored by Polycor, to officially launch Women in Stone (WIS). It wasn’t long before the initiative took off. The group has currently extended to 901 signed-up members and it offers a variety of programs to further strengthen women’s roles in the stone industry.
“Women in Stone’s mission is to recruit, retain and advance women in the natural stone industry,” said Sarah B Gregg. Women in Stone administrator. “Our primary areas of focus are education and networking. We provide ways for women to connect and learn from each other, and teach them more about natural stone and its supply chain. By nurturing their passion, understanding and confidence, we are creating the future leaders of our industry.”
