How can a NAWIC membership enhance your
career in the construction industry? |
By Providing Member Services and Benefits |
The Association offers its members a wide range of discounted member services, which includes a credit card program, car rentals, office supplies, subscriptions to industry publications and discounts on textbooks offered through the NAWIC Education Foundation.
The Association's national magazine, The NAWIC IMAGE, keeps members informed of association news, industry happenings and issues affecting today's woman in construction. |
By Promoting Industry and Community Involvement |
Local NAWIC chapters initiate and participate in projects that benefit the industry and community, such as Habitat for Humanity and the Phoenix, Ariz., Chapter's Construction Dictionary, which is now in its ninth edition with approximately 85,000 volumes sold.
Chapter members have renovated schools, constructed homeless shelters and playgrounds, and taught construction safety workshops. Chapters and regions have united to create and participate in flood and disaster relief programs and have sponsored construction education classes.
NAWIC members are involved in joint activities with area construction companies, civic organizations and other associations, creating a network of communication and support in their communities.
NAWIC chapters conduct Career Days in local schools and communities to encourage men and women to enter the world of construction.
Many chapters participate in job fairs to recruit women who are interested in changing careers and to provide information on educational and training requirements for both traditional and nontraditional construction opportunities. |
By Associating with Other Women in the Industry |
Members of the Association are business owners and executives, subcontractors, managers and office administrators. They are also attorneys, architects, engineers, accountants and estimators. Some members are employed in construction trades, including welding, electricity, carpentry and plumbing.
Monthly chapter meetings, national conventions and regional conferences provide opportunities to build a strong communication network for developing and broadening valuable business contacts.
Various committees such as Safety and Health Awareness, Professional Education and Tradeswomen encourage the member to participate in her area of individual expertise and offer enhanced knowledge and support from other members with similar specializations. |
Through Liaisons & Partnering Agreements |
More than 30 associations work with NAWIC to share resources, aggressive problem resolutions and safety training. Together, we can create a more positive image of the industry and the role of women who work in the nontraditional field of construction.
