The Women in Stone Legacy Series explores and celebrates the successful careers of influential women in the natural stone industry. We hope that their stories will inspire future generations of women leaders to pursue their dreams. By learning from their challenges and triumphs, future industry leaders will be motivated to succeed and help our industry thrive.

On Wednesday, September 13, 2023, in conjunction with Natural Stone Institute’s Colorado Study Tour, we honored Brenda Edwards, owner of TexaStone Quarries, TexaCon Cut Stone, and Bedford Limestone Supply. She is a BSI past president, a two-time recipient of the Person of the Year Award, and the first recipient of the Women in Stone Pioneer Award. You will hear directly from Brenda about her storied career in the industry and learn about her passion for her work as is evident in her decades of influential leadership in her companies and philanthropic initiatives.
