As part of the continued effort in making a measurable difference, NAWIC announced the launch of the GoFundMe campaign with a $10,000 donation toward a goal of $40,000 to aid in the completion of Hard Hatted Woman. To be truly inclusive of all of NAWIC nation, we are asking chapters to make a suggested donation of $250, and if every chapter did so, we would easily reach our goal!

Industry Update
Forty-five states and the District of Columbia added construction jobs between July 2017 and July 2018, while 29 states and D.C. added construction jobs between June and July, according to an analysis by the Associated General Contractors of America of Labor Department data released today. Association officials cautioned that continued job gains may depend on swiftly implementing new training and education legislation to equip students and workers to enter the industry.
Nearly 90% of contractors have faced risks related to shortages of skilled workers, while 67% have dealt with risks related to a dearth of qualified supervisory staff, found a new survey, "Managing Risk in the Digital Age," conducted by the Associated General Contractors of America Management along with a consulting and banking firm FMI Corp.
