Virtual YP Meeting

BIA Young Professionals (members or staff of members aged 45 and younger) are invited to a Zoom meeting where we will celebrate Women in Construction month with two of our members, Pam Crane of Phase One Consulting, and former BIA President, Dottie LaFitte.

Free to attend, but please register in advance.

Dottie LaFitte
In addition to presiding over her own residential company, LaFitte Custom Homes, she led others in her career through her involvement in the BIA of Central SC, HBA of SC and National Association of Home Builders (NAHB).
 
She served as our BUILD-PAC Trustee and NAHB’s Political Action Committee since 1982 and is an NAHB Senior Life Director. She served as President of the BIA in 1987 and has received numerous awards including Builder of the Year and the Gordon A. Harrison Award. She was inducted in the SC Housing Hall of Fame in 1998 and received the REGAL Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018.




Pam Crane
An entrepreneur from an early age, Pam started her first company in her twenties. This has included opportunities in technology, fitness, sales & marketing and real estate, to name a few. After selling her technology business in 2010, she decided to follow her passion of redesigning spaces and capitalize on the experience she had gained while flipping houses with her husband over the past 25 years. Through this process, Pam discovered a real affinity for design, specifically around drafting and spatial design, as it relates to construction.

She and her business partner are dedicated to creating a culture focused on elevating the construction experience by addressing the negative stigmas associated with this industry. Part of this focus is an emphasis on training and developing young people in a way that creates excitement around construction.
