ABOUT THE LUNCHEON
NEW's Equity Leadership Awards Luncheon celebrates women building New York City. For more than 45 years NEW has trained and placed women in the skilled construction trades and related fields, helping them secure sustainable wages for themselves and their families. The women who enter the doors of NEW are changed; they walk out confident and ready to begin their journey in a new career.
The Equity Leadership Awards Luncheon recognizes the hard work and dedication of NEW students and graduates as well as those who support them. The Luncheon is NEW's signature fundraising event hosting more than 1,000 guests and raises more than one million dollars used to train the next generation of tradeswomen. The event provides a unique opportunity to acknowledge the individuals, companies, and trades organizations that have shown an extraordinary commitment to women in the building and construction trades.
To get involved, please contact Meyris Montalvo Lopez at events@new-nyc.org.
