A long-time ABC Baltimore member and volunteer leader, Sheckells co-founded the construction group at KatzAbosch with Kent Thomas, which has made her a mentor and role model for other young women to join the industry.

A portion of this day is dedicated to Construction Careers and promoting women in construction. She is currently serving as the Vice Chair of the WABC.

The annual ABC Baltimore Winter Gala, honoring Sheckells and other construction industry leaders, will be held at the Legg Mason Building on Saturday, February 8th, from 6 — 10 pm.

“We are extremely proud of Anita and her accomplishments with ABC,” says Mark Cissell, President & CEO of KatzAbosch. “This recognition as Woman of the Year is more confirmation of what we already know about her, that she’s a wonderful role model to women, not only within our own firm, but to the construction and accounting industries in general.”
