Letter from the Executive Director
For 67 years, the National Association of Women in Construction has stood as a building block for all women in the industry. Over the past several years, with the unrest and changes that have shook the world, we have heard an even greater and louder call to continue NAWIC’s mission to strengthen and amplify the success of women in the construction industry. Along with National President Doreen Bartoldus’ theme for the past year, Envision Equity, we have made our unified voices heard and we are making a difference within the construction industry
The national office staff, board of directors, and our membership across the country have worked together
to ensure our footprint is seen across the country and beyond. Through events such as WIC Week and industry advocates, such as our sponsors and Global Partners, women in construction are being seen and valued. The industry is recognizing the importance and vital need for women in the field. Within NAWIC, we have focused on creating a strong infrastructure. We have added office staff, who are constantly working and learning to ensure the association is strong. We have continued our efforts to ensure that NAWIC is in a healthy financial situation, which you can find out more about later in this program. The board has listened to members and the greater industry and has worked to address their concerns and issues . Our sister foundations, the NAWIC Education Foundation (NEF) and the NAWIC Founders Scholarship Foundation (NFSF), have both gone above and beyond to provide quality education and support to everyone interested in the industry. NEF launched new course companions to offer additional support to those taking certifications to further their career and have introduced hundreds of school-aged children to construction and to the trades. NFSF awarded over $140,000 in scholarships to construction students across the country. Together, we are creating a stronger, more equitable future for the construction industry.
I am so proud of the work that we have done over the past year- but we are not done yet.
