NAWIC’s Mission
The focus of Women in Construction (WIC) Week is to highlight women in the construction industry. WIC Week also provides an occasion for National Association of Women in Construction’s (NAWIC’s) thousands of members across the country to raise awareness of the opportunities available for women in the construction industry and to emphasize the growing role of women in the industry.
NAWIC was founded in 1953 by 16 women working in the construction industry to create a support network for women working in a male-dominated field. It gained its national charter in 1955 and now has over 115 chapters across the country, as well as several international affiliates.
