Chapters offer PD&E sessions that pertain to their local interest, often presented by members or member companies. Sharing knowledge and developing leadership is fundamental to NAWIC PD&E meetings.

By gathering together in larger groups at Regional and National events, NAWIC can offer nationally known Keynote Speakers on a wide variety of topics.

Since 1997, the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) has been sponsoring the annual Women in Construction Week held during the first week in March. It is designed to increase awareness of the importance and visibility of women in the construction industry.
NAWIC Chapters throughout America and Canada will celebrate the week with a variety of special events and activities that are designed to promote construction and the value of women's contributions to the industry while furthering NAWIC’s involvement in community projects. Throughout the year, NAWIC chapters give back to their communities, but these efforts increase substantially during WIC Week. REGIONAL CHAIR: Tania Bowman |
