National Association Of Women In Construction

The national association of women in construction (nawic) originally began as women in construction of fort worth, texas. Sixteen women working in the construction industry founded it in 1953. 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. Today, nawic provides its members with opportunities for professional development, education, networking, leadership training, public service and more through a network of eight regions throughout the united states.
