It also means understanding the people behind the hard hats—and recognizing the personal\, mental\, and emotional challenges that can affect their well-being\, engagement\, and ability to stay safe. \nJoin ABC Virginia for the 2026 Safety Luncheon & STEP Awards: Beyond the Hard Hat for an engaging conversation about how supporting the whole person can strengthen your safety culture\, your workforce\, and your organization. \n**Online registration closes at 5:00PM on Monday\, November 2\, 2026.

He began his career in construction and residential HVAC\, working his way through college before spending a decade working alongside farmers and ranchers. These experiences gave him a firsthand appreciation for the people who perform demanding work every day and the challenges they face both on and off the job. \nToday\, Jared draws on that experience to help leaders address employee well-being\, mental health\, workforce engagement\, and organizational success. He brings a practical\, people-centered perspective to conversations about creating workplaces where employees feel supported and have trusted resources when life gets difficult. \nWhat you’ll take away:\nGain a new perspective on workplace safety.Explore the connection between employee well-being\, mental health\, workforce engagement\, and safety—and why what happens off the job can have a real impact on the jobsite. \nWalk away with practical insights.Hear real-world stories and strategies for recognizing challenges employees may be facing and creating a workplace where people feel supported and connected. \nStrengthen your safety culture.Consider how your organization can move beyond compliance toward a culture where safety means genuinely caring for the people who make your work possible. \nConnect with construction leaders and safety professionals.Share ideas\, experiences\, and best practices with peers who are working toward safer jobsites and stronger teams. \nSTEP Awards: Celebrating Members Who Put Safety First\nThe luncheon will culminate in the presentation of the 2026 STEP Awards\, honoring companies that have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to safety through ABC’s STEP Safety Management System. The STEP Awards recognize contractors who go above and beyond to build strong\, proactive safety cultures—setting a higher standard for safety performance across Virginia’s construction industry. \nLearn More About STEPInterested in strengthening your company’s safety program or pursuing STEP recognition?

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.
