NAWIC, established in 1955, is a professional association comprised of women who work in all areas of the construction industry, from tradeswomen to business owners. We help to comprise one of 161 Chapters throughout the United States and 5 Chapters internationally making up the National Association of Women in Construction. Our core purpose, as a NAWIC chapter, is to build and enhance the success
of women in the construction industry. To achieve NAWIC's core purpose of enhancing the success of women in the construction industry, NAWIC provides construction education, service and scholarship for its members, students and the construction industry as a whole. Additionally, NAWIC's Atlanta Chapter, chartered in 1961, offers educational programs for adults, such as its blueprint reading course, as well as events and monthly dinner meetings featuring speakers on a wide range of topics. All of the above and much more- NAWIC Atlanta is helping to build and enhance women and their success in the construction industry. Now some may stop right there and think, “Hard Hats & High Heels” are how a woman in the construction industry should be described… Yes, those women too! But, all women in the “construction industry” are meant! This includes project managers, architects, engineers, administrative assistants, receptionists, tradeswomen, comptrollers, accounts payables and receivables, construction attorneys, and insurance companies- our organization covers a wide basis of interest, jobs and women. And we can’t wait to have any woman in the construction industry not already involved come check us out!
