Traci Tenhulzen spoke as a panelist for the Professional Women In Building Council at the Master Builders Association of King & Snohomish Counties.

Introduced as the 2nd VP (she will be President of the Master Builders Association of King & Snohomish Counties in 2023) Traci answered questions about leadership in the building industry and offered experiential stories.

Traci began her career as owner of a construction site safety consultant company. Her experience was predominately advising and training construction crews how to avoid costly safety violations. The art of getting a group of men to listen to a petite woman may have come from her experience as coxswain for the men’s varsity crew team at WSU.

In 2007 when her son was born, Traci made the decision to became a full-time mom. However, in 2009, she took over as Production Manager at Tenhulzen Residential to guide her family business into success. On the job training out of necessity made for a win-win situation. Traci’s best quality is her ability to sell her own company, and now that she had experience behind the curtain at Tenhulzen Residential, she was more knowledgeable about what she would ultimately be selling.

The panelists were all well received, making the PWB Conference a huge success.
