NAWIC: The leading association for women in construction
The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) originated 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 for women working in a male-dominated field. Women in Construction of Fort Worth was so successful that it gained its national charter in 1955 and officially became the National Association of Women in Construction.
Today, NAWIC is still based in Fort Worth and has over 130 chapters throughout the United States that provide its members with opportunities for professional development, education, networking, leadership training, public service, and more. NAWIC continues the vision of its founding members by advocating for the value and impact of women builders, professionals, and tradeswomen in all aspects of the construction industry.
Our Core Purpose: Strengthen and amplify the success of women in the construction industry.
Our Mission Statement: The association is committed to championing women to impact the direction of the construction industry. NAWIC provides education, community, and advocacy for women.
