During WIC Week 2026\, ABC-VA’s Inclusion Diversity & Merit committee and NAWIC 137 are hosting a delicious breakfast filled with networking and a special keynote by construction leader and influencer\, Mikki Paradis. This event sells out every year – register early! This event is open to the public—any gender\, any age\, any profession\, students\, members & non-members\, etc. are welcome to attend. \n    &     \nMIKKI PARADIS\nKeynote Speaker • Entrepreneur • Construction Industry Leader\nMikki Paradis helps professionals build confidence\, influence\, and leadership that holds up under pressure. As the founder and president of a successful construction company she launched before graduating from NC State University\, Mikki has built her career inside one of the most demanding\, male-dominated industries in the country. She understands firsthand that leadership isn’t granted by title—it’s earned through clarity\, consistency\, and the courage to take responsibility for your impact. \nToday\, Mikki speaks to audiences across the construction industry and beyond on what it means to build with purpose and lead with confidence—from the inside out. Her signature keynotes use a construction-inspired framework to turn abstract ideas like confidence and influence into practical\, buildable skills. \nAudiences walk away with real tools to lead without ego\, communicate with intention\, protect their mindset\, and stay connected to what truly powers their performance. \nKnown for her grounded delivery\, relatable storytelling\, and job-site-relevant insights\, Mikki resonates with both men and women by speaking to the human side of leadership—pressure\, responsibility\, trust\, and growth. Her message is clear: confidence isn’t something you’re born with or fake until you make—it’s something you build.\n———————\nMikki has delivered keynote addresses for industry associations\, business organizations\, and leadership events\, including NAWIC chapters and mixed-audience construction conferences. Whether she’s speaking on influence without authority\, leadership under pressure\, or confidence under construction\, Mikki challenges audiences to stop waiting for permission and start owning the impact they already have. \nRegistration closes at 5PM on Wednesday\, February 25\, 2026\nSPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES Commitments needed by February 27 COB\nPlatinum $2\,000 **EXCLUSIVE**\n• Acknowledgement and opportunity to speak to the audience with up to a 2-minute welcome speech\n• Table of 8 at the event\n• Signage displayed at event entrance\n• Recognition on website\, social media platforms\, marketing related materials and emailsw\n**Please email Maddy Goulden to be an Exclusive Sponsor** \n \nGold $750\n• Four tickets at the event\n• Signage displayed at the event\n• Recognition on website\, social media platforms\, marketing related materials and emails \n \nSilver $500\n• Two tickets at the event\n• Signage displayed at the event\n• Recognition on website\, social media platforms\, marketing related materials and emails\nSelect during registration or email Maddy Goulden to be a Gold or Silver sponsor! \n \n \n \nCOST\nMembers – $80 (ABC-VA & NAWIC)\nNon-Members – $125\nIncludes full breakfast \nLOCATION\nNorfolk Waterside Marriott\n235 E Main Street\, Norfolk\, VA 23510 \nCANCELLATIONS/SUBSTITUTIONS POLICY\nCancellations must be made within 48 hours of event for a full refund.
