NOMINATE A MEMBER TODAY!
Annually, NAWIC National and the Midwest Region of NAWIC provide recognition to members for their involvement in their chapter, region and on the national level. Regionally, the Midwest Region has developed two awards to recognize the wonderful attributes and contributions of our members. They are the Member of the Year Award, and the Future Leader of the Year Award. Regional Awards are presented at the Spring Forum and National Awards are presented at the national Annual Conference.
Additional committee-based awards are offered as well. For example, each year NAWIC National develops Marketing & Membership Awards. In addition to these awards, the Midwest Region Committee Chairs will often create additional awards to further recognize the efforts of chapter committees and outstanding progress. Please check out the variety of awards presented to members of the Midwest Region over the past two membership years below.
We are proud to honor the volunteer efforts these committees and individuals put forth on a daily basis to further the advancement of Women in Construction.
Regional nominations are due MARCH 15, 2020 to April Planck. Please submit them to aplanck@ur.com. If you have any questions or need additional information, April can be reached at 417.624.1121.
- The Member of the Year award was established to recognize outstanding efforts of a NAWIC member who has been actively involved throughout the current NAWIC year. A member is only eligible to win this award once.
- The Future Leader of the Year award was established to recognize outstanding efforts of a new NAWIC member who has been actively involved throughout their first two NAWIC years as of May 31 of the current year. A member is only eligible to win this award once.
