Colleagues, Collaborators, and Partners:

For over 68 years, the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) continues to strengthen and amplify the success of women in the construction industry.

Aligning as community partners during the inaugural Construction Inclusion Week is vital as we evolve and envision success within the industry. How are you:

● Advocating for equitable and inclusive workplaces?

● Building a sustainable and diverse talent pipeline?

● Advancing success-driven DEI strategies, in your organization?

The ask is to align interests, and share, post and participate with presentations, actions, and programs across the country and across the industry. There is irrefutable data to support bottom-line advantages when engaging robust and intentional DEI initiatives.
