Core Purpose: To enhance the success of women in the construction industy.
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. NAWIC Greater Palm Beach Chapter 87 was founded on April 1st, 1964.
NAWIC provides Career Growth, Industry Resources, Advocacy, and Connectivity to our more than 6,000 members and 120+ chapters nationwide. Gulf Coast Florida Chapter covers from St. Petersburg FL to Charlotte County FL. Our members can take advantage of additional opportunities to build leadership skills, obtain exposure to new industry trends, and develop a robust network of contacts, locally, regionally, and nationally through our National and Regional Conferences.
