Building Women Meeting & Featured Presentation: FIRE SAFE MARIN

Please join us for this gathering of Building Women. This meeting will be virtual via ZOOM.

Space is limited so please register in advance for this meeting. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. If you are not a current member and would like to attend as a guest, please email Christine

This meeting will feature a presentation by Jessamyn Hise with FIRE SAFE MARIN. Fire Safe Marin is a non-profit organization dedicated to reducing fire hazards, promoting fire safety awareness, and helping residents prepare for wildfires in Marin County.  They are valued partners of Marin Builders Association and are dedicated to helping our members learn how to incorporate home hardening and fire protection into their business models.

This presentation will cover Fire Behavior Science 101—how wildfires spread and the key factors that increase risk—followed by an overview of fire prevention efforts in Marin County, including the role of MWPA, Measure C, and local fire agencies. Attendees will learn about essential steps homeowners can take to reduce risk through home hardening and defensible space, as well as how to access valuable resources such as home wildfire assessments, Firewise USA® support, professional trainings, and Fire Safe Marin’s extensive library of educational videos and tools.

The mission of this group is to help build our networks, address issues in our industry from the female perspective and ultimately build our strength as a community of women within construction in the North Bay. 

Each meeting features a member presentation, three mini-member marketing presentations, or a topic discussion as set by the group.  As always, there will be networking and opportunities to connect both before and after.

Please note that men who are interested are also most welcome.
