More than 300 contractors, tradespeople, and industry professionals gathered at National Lumber Company's Rockville, Md., location for Latino Pro Day, a community focused event celebrating the contributions of Latino professionals across the construction and building materials industry.
Hosted in partnership with David Parraguirre, known to many as The Mexican Carpenter, and the Latino Builders Show team, the event brought together builders, manufacturers, and suppliers for an afternoon of networking, product demonstrations, education, and recognition. Despite heavy rain, attendance and enthusiasm remained strong throughout the event.
According to the National Association of Home Builders, nearly one in three U.S. construction workers is Hispanic. As the Latino workforce continues to grow and shape the future of construction, events like Latino Pro Day provide valuable opportunities to connect builders with industry resources, training, products, and professional relationships that support long term success.
The success of Latino Pro Day highlighted the impact that can be achieved when businesses invest in the people who drive the industry forward. By recognizing and celebrating the contributions of Latino builders and contractors, National Lumber demonstrated its commitment to supporting a workforce that is essential to the industry's future.
