Aug. 11, 2022

Women of Asphalt (WofA) has announced the appointment of Beth Duffus to its Board of Trustees.

Beth has paved her career as an experienced Project Manager with over 15 years’ experience at Granite Construction Company.

“On behalf of the entire WofA Board of Trustees, we warmly welcome Ms. Duffus and look forward to her contribution,” said Sheila Barkevich, WofA Board president. “Her experience in managing paving projects is sure to be a major asset to our organization as we continue to grow.”

Duffus graduated from Washington State University with a bachelor’s degree in Construction Management. In 2017, she was one of 12 founders of Granite’s Resources and Opportunities for Women (GROW), a grassroots effort to advocate for and support women through mentorship, networking, and career development, while establishing Granite as an employer of choice for women.

Volunteering as president for the first two years, Duffus forged the direction of and championed the continued growth of GROW to the success it is today. She is still actively involved in GROW as past president.

In addition to her involvement with GROW, Duffus is also actively engaged with Granite’s outreach efforts, including at the Boys and Girls Club and local elementary schools, to promote a more diverse and inclusive workforce.
