CORE PURPOSE:
To Enhance the Success of Women in the Construction Industry

The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) originally began as Women in Construction of Fort Worth, Texas.  It was founded in 1953 by 16 women working in the construction industry.  Knowing that women represented only a small fraction of the construction industry, the founders organized NAWIC to create a support network and gained its national charter in 1955 as the National Association of Women in Construction.
