Project & Marketing Manager, Snowden Builders LLC, and President
Professional Women in Building Council (PWB) of Greater Grand Rapids
Brilliant Emerging Leader
Growing up, Stephanie Snowden’s dad would say “be a leader, not a follower,” and today she is a leader in the male-dominated construction industry. Stephanie is the Project and Marketing Manager of Snowden Builders and Council President of the Professional Women in Building Council. Each day she looks for opportunities to learn and become more knowledgeable in business and the residential construction industry because she believes a good leader should never stop learning and improving. She remarks, “construction is no longer a man’s industry ... I’m helping pave the way for other young women to stand up and do something different, to be different.”
