The Greater Des Moines chapter has created a NAWIC and WIC Week online store that is now open and ready for shopping!

The store will close on Feb. 1. So don’t delay in your ordering and sharing with your regions, chapter members, etc. if you are interested. 

You can order items directly online AND they will be shipped directly to your door! 

There are Women in Construction Week- (WIC Week) themed items in the store! Be sure to check them out. Wear the apparel to the many events that we hope will be going on that week across the nation (same with just the regular NAWIC logoed apparel). WIC Week items are something that your company may want to look into purchasing for employees to celebrate WIC Week as a company. 

You need to create an account to use the site. It doesn’t cost anything, just the way their software works.

NAWIC at the United Rentals Show

Recently, NAWIC President Dove Sifers-Putnam, CIT, and NAWIC
Midwest Region Director Jodi Wiemerslage represented NAWIC at the
United Rentals show held January 5 & 6 a the convention center in Minneapolis, MN. United Rentals is one of our top sponsors, and we
exhibit at this show every year. It's a great way to promote NAWIC to show attendees and for United Rentals to share our partnership as well. They
even found time for a little trivia to engage those who stopped by the booth. Let's see if you can answer, no cheating!

Question: "What is the oldest manufactured building material still in use?"

1. Stone
2. Bricks
3. Gold
4. Plywood

Answer: Bricks

It looks like they had a great time and were quite busy getting the word out about NAWIC to all that attended the show. It's another way we're showing the industry how "NAWIC Builds."

WIC Week Facebook Frame Now Available

Let’s ‘paint’ Facebook with WIC Week from now until after WIC Week is over! Consider sharing this with your region’s chapter WIC Week Chairs and Chapter Presidents. Urge them to send the same message out to their members to change their profile pictures. Go ahead, get all of your Facebook friends to change their frame to show their support too!

Here’s the link - www.facebook.com/profilepicframes/?selected_overlay_id=2244048069209197

If the link doesn’t work for you, you can also add it by clicking on your profile picture to ‘Update,’ then choose ‘Add Frame,’ then you can search for "Women in Construction Week 2019." 

A big THANKS to Tania Bowman of Dean Snyder Construction for helping get the word out with this cool new frame option on the Facebook platform. See her picture above. She even changed the photo to one of her on a job site so that it was a little more fun.

Is your organization equipped to handle and organize the plethora of data it receives each day? Learn the most recent record retention laws. As the amount of data and records increases exponentially, organizations are struggling to manage the data not only to stay compliant but also to avoid huge litigation costs and possible sanctions for the disposition or disclosure of personally identifiable data. This topic will teach you how to create a legally defensible records retention program as the first line of defense in the event of an audit, litigation or other inquiries. You will also receive a retention schedule template for Human Resources and Tax records.
