KNOWLEDGE IS KEY.
At Sharpe Interior Systems, Inc., it is our belief that growth and opportunity are created through involvement and participation. We also believe there is power in creating balance through diversity. This is why we choose to support WiOPS, Women in Construction Operations.
WiOPS is a nonprofit organization founded in 2013. We have seen the organization grow from a small group of highly-motivated women who recognize there is a need to support women in construction, to a movement of hundreds of members. The organization is made up of building industry professionals representing a broad spectrum of trades. WiOPS currently has two chapters, one in Southern California and one in Northern California and there are plans to expand into other states.
WiOPS Mission: To provide a platform that empowers and advances women in construction through mentorship, education and networking.
Sharpe has hosted many events for WiOPS including monthly educational events and fine-dining experiences, and has also been a sponsor of various events including Top Golf El Segundo and their upcoming 10-Year Anniversary Celebration.
