A Message from our President:
Members,

Spring, is it really just around the corner? As January flew by, we are in the middle of a short month and a great time to celebrate Black History Month, Heart HEALth Month and Valentine’s Day. As your President, the Board and I are continuing to bring you value as being a member of WICNM! Your continued support and engagement will keep us all strong during these ever changing times. WIC week is also coming up, March 7-13 and we have an exciting online event on March 11th that we’d love for you to participate in. Please join us and bring all of your friends, we need the fellowship. It’s also a great time to thank and welcome all of our new members and celebrate the foundation that is being built for this organization. As we are beginning to see pandemic restrictions lifted, now is the time to engage and share what a great organization we have for all Women in the Construction Industry, that includes support personnel, not just boots on the ground. Please reach out to any board director or member, if you’d like to know when/how to get connected, we’d love to have you!

Building A Career In Construction: The Challenges And Opportunities
A career in construction probably isn't on your radar, but maybe it should be. The industry offers some unique opportunities for women. First of all, there’s a massive labor shortage, and secondly, there are very few women. Currently, less than 9.1% of the workforce is made up of women, and many of these women do design or administrative work, resulting in women only holding 1.2% of construction trade jobs.


Thank you to our 2021 Sponsors!
