The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) originally began as Women in Construction of Fort Worth, Texas. It was founded in 1953 by 16 women working in the construction industry. Knowing that women represented only a small fraction of the construction industry, the founders organized NAWIC to create a support network. Women in Construction of Fort Worth was so successful that it gained its national charter in 1955 and became the National Association of Women in Construction.
NAWIC has a membership of more than 4,500 and approximately 167 chapters, with chapters in almost every U.S. state. Since 1996, NAWIC has seen its Core Purpose grow worldwide and has International Affiliation Agreements with the Canadian Association of Women in Construction, NAWIC-Australia, NAWIC-New Zealand, NAWIC-United Kingdom and South African Women in Construction. In NAWIC’s 55 years of service to its membership, NAWIC has advanced the causes of all women in construction, from tradeswomen to business owners.
The National Association of Women In Construction is made up of 14 Regions, and we are Region 10, which encompasses Northern California and Parts of Nevada. Our Region was formed in 1962 and in 2012 we will be celebrating our 50th Anniversary. The core purpose of NAWIC is to support and enhance women in the construction industry. We provide many educational programs, and opportunities within our Region. We hold two annual meetings in our Region. One being Annual Planning Conference held in October/November, and the 2nd is our Annual Spring Forum in April/May. We may also provide a winter or summer conference depending on the needs of the membership.
We welcome you to join us at any of our events or attend a chapter meeting in your location.
