Block Kids Building Competition

Block Kids Building Competition is a National building competition that is sponsored on the local level by NAWIC chapters and other organizations.

The award-winning program introduces children in grades K-6  to the construction industry in an effort to create awareness and promote careers in the industry.

​REGIONAL CHAIR: Shawna Glasscock
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:  Josi Newell
