Description

In honor of International Women’s Day a global celebration of women’s achievements and a call to accelerate gender equity, and in observance of Women in Construction Week, the El Paso Chamber invites you to a powerful edition of our Women in Business Breakfast—a premier event dedicated to advancing economic and workforce development by empowering women in leadership and entrepreneurship. This inspiring gathering spotlights the strength, resilience, and innovation of women shaping industries, communities, and the future of El Paso’s economy.

We proudly highlight the essential and evolving role of women in the construction industry, one of the pillars of regional growth. Across the country, women continue breaking barriers and redefining what leadership looks like in traditionally male‑dominated fields—and no one embodies this progress more fully than our featured speaker, Tricia Kagerer, CPCU, ARM, CSP.

As the Executive Vice President of Risk Management at Jordan Foster Construction, Tricia leads with exceptional vision in a company known for major civil, multifamily, and general contracting projects across Texas. A nationally recognized expert in construction risk, she is celebrated for her leadership, her award‑winning contributions to the field, and her commitment to reshaping safety culture to include both physical and mental well‑being.

Beyond her executive expertise, Tricia is an accomplished author of The B Words: 13 Words Every Woman Must Navigate for Self‑Defined Success, where she uplifts women pursuing careers in non‑traditional sectors and offers insight on navigating obstacles with confidence and purpose. Her impact extends into the classroom as a visiting lecturer in Texas A&M University's MS in Construction program, where she mentors future construction professionals and champions inclusive leadership.

• Hear firsthand insights from a trailblazer transforming the construction industry
• Learn practical leadership strategies you can apply immediately
• Engage in meaningful conversations that champion women’s advancement
• Network with influential leaders and rising professionals from across the region
• Leave energized, connected, and motivated—ready to make your own mark

Join us on March 6th for a morning of celebration, insight, and empowerment as we honor International Women’s Day and uplift the voices and achievements of women across our region. This is more than a breakfast—it’s a movement, and we’re excited to have you be part of it.
