Why would you want to be a member of one of the greatest non-profit organizations in America? Being a member of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. My favorite part about NAWIC is the education, specifically the grade school competition.

Our education process starts with young children as we introduce them to construction through an annual Lego competition. Given guidelines and limited materials, it is amazing to see the imagination these precious children have and the energy they put into constructing their best masterpiece. We know that education at all levels is crucial for the construction industry. High school students participate in a CADD drafting competition. College students attaining a construction-related degree are supported through scholarships to local colleges with funds raised by NAWIC. And as members, we advance our own education through the NAWIC Education Foundation. Our mission is to promote the employment, education, and advancement of women in the construction industry. And every member does just that.

Please check into your local NAWIC Chapter or visit us online.  There you’ll find an organization with a supportive and caring group of women working to better the future of the construction industry.

NAWIC’s core purpose is “to enhance the Success of Women in the Construction Industry.”   We pledge “as material for the construction of our building, the agility of our hands, the ability of our minds and the integrity of our heart.”
