For decades, the National Institute of Building Sciences has recognized outstanding members of the built environment.

During the pandemic, NIBS opened several new awards categories to winners. These include the Exceptional Woman in Building Award, NIBS Distinguished Service, NIBS Innovator, Future Leaders, and DEI Leadership.

Last year, our 2023 Exceptional Woman in Building was innovation catalyst Salla Eckhardt.

The Exceptional Woman in Building Award recognizes a dynamic and trailblazing woman, who has made outstanding contributions to the built environment. This award celebrates the industry’s remarkable female thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and champions of change.

Winners will be announced at Building Innovation 2024 at the Capital Hilton in Washington, DC.

BI2024 takes place next month, May 22-24. Register now to join built environment professionals to explore case studies, groundbreaking strategies, and the latest tools. The conference agenda will be up soon.
