Northeast Region Director, Jillian Penkin, organized the WNY Tradeswomen’s Summit, which is an annual incubator for all genders to convene, and address issues, opportunities, and gain clarity on topics of concern to women in the industry. Attendees, speakers, and participating organizations take this opportunity to build community within their own established systems, as well as reaching across trades to connect and exchange ideas.
ABC Western Michigan recently welcomed NAWIC member and Parliamentarian Doreen Bartoldus as the featured speaker for their "Built by Women Industry Event." Doreen's address offered inspiration while celebrating the vital strength, leadership, and innovation contributed by women in construction and the skilled trades.
NAWIC National Staff successfully partnered with the Lean Construction Institute (LCI), exhibiting at their national conference from October 22nd to 24th. This high-profile presence was instrumental in raising awareness of NAWIC's mission, as Assistant Director Amber and Membership Manager Sarah fostered valuable industry connections, networked with prospective sponsors, and engaged directly with several of our dedicated members.
NAWIC will be exhibiting at the upcoming Global Advance Work Packaging (AWP) & Advanced Project Delivery Conference, taking place on November 19-20 in Houston. Hosted by the APDA, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing outcomes in capital projects, this conference highlights the latest in advanced project delivery methods.
