Saturday Keynote Closing Brunch: Just One of the Guys - Ally Jencson

Ally is often referred to as the Tradeswoman Tigress. She is fiercely passionate about helping women be successful and stay feminine in the trades, service and construction industries. Ally has spent the majority of her professional career in male dominated industries and knows first-hand how challenging it is to maintain our femininity being surrounded by men all the time. From commercial printing to window cleaning to grinding concrete and installing epoxy coatings, Ally knows exactly what it’s like being the only chick on a job site and in the office. She had to learn on her own how to take a broke and broken business to badass status with leadership mindset techniques, unique marketing strategies and communication savvy. Ally knows it takes more than just hard work and dedication to be successful in the construction trades industry. It takes becoming a Tigress! Ally has been in business ownership with her husband, Barry, since 2005. Together they have four children; Ray, Cheyenne, Joe and Chance. They also have two cats, Cosmo and Luna, and a pit bull named Onyx. When not working, Ally enjoys camping and riding her ATV in the Colorado mountains. She also enjoys airbrush painting, being physically active outdoors and holds a black belt in Taekwondo. Ally is a strong believer in community and is active in her local Housing and Building Association and is a member of the El Paso County Contractors Association. Ally has been a member of NAWIC Pikes Peak Chapter 356 since Dec. 2014 and was the 2018 Spirit Award recipient. Ally is currently President Elect for NAWIC Pikes Peak Chapter 356 and will serve as President from 2020-22.
