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: SHARON NIEKAMP, CIT, CBT |

Professional Development & Education starts at the chapter level with monthly meetings. Meetings are geared at networking and team building, developing and/or enhancing your professional skills and educating you on new practices, market trends or policies in the construction industry.

Safety & Health Awareness & OSHA Alliance
Through the Alliance, OSHA and NAWIC will work together to provide NAWIC members and others with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect the health and safety of workers, particularly by reducing and preventing exposure to ergonomic hazards, sanitation hazards, and issues related to personal protective equipment selection in the industry, with the focus on a subset of construction workers with unique needs.
