DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE Tammy Rico, CIT - NAWIC Midwest Region Director 2022-2024
National President Hager's theme this year "Keys to the Future" serves as a guiding principle that propels us to continuously strive for excellence both within the construction industry and within ourselves. It ignites a sense of purpose and motivation, reminding us that our actions today shape the landscape of tomorrow. In the construction industry, embracing this concept means adopting innovative technologies, sustainable practices, and efficient methodologies that pave the way for safer, smarter, and more resilient structures. On a personal level, "Keys to the Future" encourages self-improvement, fostering a mindset of lifelong learning, adaptability, and growth. By embracing these keys, we not only enhance our individual capabilities but also contribute to a brighter, more prosperous future for the construction industry as a whole. I thank you for sharing this NAWIC journey with me.
Today women make up less than 10% of the construction workforce, raising the question, "Can women do that?" The truth is, WE CAN. There are many roles throughout the construction industry that are ready for women and want women to get involved.
For over 65 years the National Association of Women In Construction has helped to educate and support women pursuing a career in the field of construction. We help women build connections and take advantage of the opportunities the construction industry has to offer.
Yes you can build your career as a woman in construction, join us!
