The ASA San Antonio Chapter had plenty to celebrate this year after receiving a $1,250 grant from the Foundation of the American Subcontractors Association (FASA) to support its Women in Construction Week event. The grant helped bring to life a fun, welcoming, and high-energy gathering that gave women in the industry a chance to connect, encourage one another, and celebrate their important role in construction.
The response was fantastic. ASA San Antonio welcomed about 60 attendees, and the event sold out quickly, making it clear that women-focused networking opportunities are something members truly want and value. From the start, there was a buzz in the room as attendees connected with peers from many different corners of the industry, swapped stories, shared experiences, and built relationships. It was a great reminder of how strong and supportive the women in the construction community continue to be.
To keep the energy going, the chapter added fun networking games throughout the event. Guests could earn tickets for prize drawings by participating, which made the atmosphere even more lively and interactive. The games gave everyone an easy way to break the ice, start conversations, and meet new people—turning networking into something engaging and genuinely enjoyable.
Another special touch was a commemorative Women in Construction Week photo frame for each attendee. It gave everyone a fun keepsake to remember the event and celebrate the growing impact of women in the industry. Moments like that helped make the event feel personal, memorable, and full of pride.
The enthusiasm surrounding the event was so strong that ASA San Antonio is already thinking ahead to next year. With attendance so high and interest so clear, the chapter is planning to secure a larger venue so even more members can take part. That kind of momentum says a lot—not only about the success of this event, but also about the excitement around creating more spaces for women in construction to connect and grow.
ASA San Antonio is deeply grateful to FASA for supporting programs like this one. The Foundation’s investment helped create a meaningful and memorable Women in Construction Week event, and the chapter truly appreciates the partnership. Support like this makes a real difference, helping chapters deliver programs that bring people together and strengthen the industry as a whole.
This event was more than just a successful gathering—it was a celebration of connection, community, and the growing presence of women in construction. Thanks to FASA’s support and the incredible enthusiasm of attendees, ASA San Antonio is building on that success and looking forward to an even bigger event next year.
