Hello Members!
Last month we recognized Barb Hatch and Teresa Bates Delgado for their leadership and commitment to Women In Construction New Mexico for serving their terms as President. WICNM has a very strong foundation and a solid vision for the future, and I am very humbled and honored to now lead this association as the President going forward. If I have not met you already, I am looking forward to meeting you at an upcoming event. I would like to extend a warm welcome to our newest board member Sharon Montoya. 
Speaking of upcoming events, we are now able to meet in person once again. The Planning Committee has been working on several events to get us together for networking, fellowship, and learning. Watch your monthly newsletter, social media, and emails for more information.
Our Philanthropy Committee is working with the Barrett House again this year and has completed one volunteer day and will be doing another on July 10th. During the first quarter of 2021, the Committee raised $600 for The Barrett House and will present the check in July.
We need some help on our Marketing Committee. This committee also works on membership retention and recruitment; if you are interested, please email wicnewmexico@gmail.com. The Committee meets on the first Tuesday of the month at 11:30am and can accommodate both in-person and online attendance.
Thank you for your membership; you are our greatest asset and I welcome your feedback and ideas. 

Jane Jernigan
President

In-Person May Meeting was a Success!


On May 20th, we were able to hold our first in-person meeting in over a year. By following the COVID-19 restrictions, we held a round table discussion on the past year and how it changed the workplace and our personal lives. We also took time to thank the outgoing board members:
Barb Hatch, Maria Gutierrez, Debi Moore, and Teresa Delgado.
July Meeting - In-Person Only


We hope to see you there!
In the Construction World - June 2021
How Women in Construction Positively Impact Profits and Collaboration
The construction workforce is evolving in many positive ways, especially as it actively embraces diversity and technology. Nevertheless, it remains one of the most male-dominated industries in the world. Out of the over 10 million construction workers in the US, just over one million are female. Even more unbalanced is when you look at the percentage of females in the construction trades; 3.4%.
