Recognizing the Women Who Pave the Way

The paving and pavement maintenance industry is stronger when women feel empowered to lead — and FORCE is proud to celebrate their contributions. The FORCE Female Leaders in Pavement Awards spotlight women who are making a difference through leadership, innovation, and dedication.
Each year, winners are celebrated at the exclusive FORCE Awards Gala Dinner at the IGNITE Construction Summit and honored during the Pavement Awards Ceremony at PAVE/X.

Why These Awards Matter
