Follow our social media daily spotlights this week, check out our full list WBE GBCA member companies, and keep reading today's newsletter to learn more about how women are impacting the construction industry.

GBCA will host four Spring Micro Membership Dinners. Members are invited to dinner and cocktails in an outdoor setting, featuring remarks from GBCA Board Members.

Each dinner is limited to 30 attendees. Members may only register for one dinner and a maximum of two attendees, to ensure social distancing and proper COVID-19 safety protocols.

When you register, you'll be asked to select one of the dates listed below.

Keep up the efforts to mitigate the viruses, such as wearing masks, social distancing, and hand hygiene. Because of these efforts and increased vaccinations, new COVID-19 cases are declining. Because of these, Pennsylvania's COVID-19 restrictions have been revised, notably increases to occupancy for venues and elimination of out-of-state travel restrictions.

Join us for a webinar about COVID-19 vaccination policies and protocols, proof of vaccination, employee exemptions or refusals, incentivizing vaccines, and additional tips surrounding the roll out of COVID-19 vaccines.
