Construction
Los Angeles, CA 1,505 followers
Promoting and supporting the advancement and employment of women in the construction industry in Los Angeles since 1961.
About us
In 1961, Chapter #42 was formed with 12 members in Los Angeles. 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 has a diverse membership and more than 150 chapters, with chapters in almost every U.S. state. Since 1996, NAWIC has seen its Core Purpose grow worldwide and has International Affiliation Agreements with the Canadian Association of Women in Construction, NAWIC-Australia, NAWIC-New Zealand, NAWIC-United Kingdom and South African Women in Construction. In NAWIC’s 58 years of service to its membership, the Association has advanced the causes of all women in construction, from tradeswomen to business owners. We exist to enhance the success of women in the construction industry. Our Values: Believe. Persevere. Dare.

We have so many exciting events lined up for the new year. This year's theme, Together We Rise, is all about empowerment and unity. A heartfelt thank you to my fellow committee members from #WomenWorkingTogether for attending and showing your support for NAWIC and me.

We had an incredible time at the Supplier Diversity Day Celebration held at the Natural History Museum! This engaging evening, sponsored by 15 prime companies and 11 community trade partners, including NAWIC LA Chapter #42, was a fantastic opportunity for dynamic discussions, networking, and celebration. The highlights of the event included a thought-provoking keynote address by Greg Reed from LADWP and an insightful panel discussion on “Bridging Tier 1 Subs with the Subcontracting Community.” As attendees gathered under the iconic skeleton of a South Atlantic Blue Whale or snapped selfies with the majestic t-Rex, the unique venue truly enhanced the experience. We at NAWIC LA Chapter #42 seized the moment to share our membership benefits and promote upcoming events, encouraging women and allies to consider joining our community. We were delighted to discuss sponsorship opportunities with business owners, emphasizing how membership can benefit themselves and employees alike. This event was a significant celebration of Construction Inclusion Week, underscoring our commitment to diversity and inclusion in the construction industry. We are proud to have been part of such a vibrant gathering! #SupplierDiversity #ConstructionInclusion #WomenInConstruction #NAWICLA42 #Networking #DiversityAndInclusion #ConstructionCommunity
