Project Director Valeria Wright Coins the Term “Take Credit Thursday”

Meet one of our Project Directors, Valeria Wright!

We’re taking a moment to celebrate Valeria’s “Take Credit Thursday” campaign, which has become a weekly routine in which she celebrates wins, whether big or small, in her personal and professional life. This campaign has led to multiple speaking engagements, one of which was at the Inaugural Chicago Women in Roofing Conference. During her Keynote Speech, Valeria shared how women can do great work, share those results, own them, and take credit for them. Valeria is also a Chairperson for the NAWIC Chicago Metro Chapter, where she’s taken the opportunity to speak to many high school- and college-aged women looking to join the industry.

To top it off, she recently became a published author by turning her campaign into a weekly progress journal, aptly titled “Take Credit Thursday.” You can purchase her book on Amazon at the link below:

Valeria has embodied everything JWI stands for, as a woman-founded company, and we are lucky to have someone like her who consistently empowers the women in our industry to take ownership and strive for success in all they do.
