Q&A With Nicole Shields About WofA

What are the origins of this organization in Utah?

We just started our Utah branch thanks to UAPA’s Reed Ryan and Keri Dumont.

How did you get involved with it?

I have had the distinct privilege of working for the past several years now with Keri and Reed on the planning committee for the Utah Asphalt Conference. I have put together several presentations for safety and other topics. Reed and Keri asked me to be the chair of the Utah branch of WofA.

Why is WofA important?

WofA is a national organization that supports women in all aspects of the asphalt industry. It is important to provide a platform to network, support and create opportunities for women in this tough industry.

What are WofA’s goals and achievements?

To promote and grow membership, to create and foster mentoring and networking opportunities for women in the asphalt industry, and to advocate for women in the asphalt industry.
