Hello Members,


The first month of 2023 was a great way to kick off the year. The WICNM committees hit the ground running and are hard at work planning a great year of events and activities. The Planning Committee held a successful networking happy hour with over 40 attendees on January 26th. The Marketing Committee is conducting a membership drive and we had several people sign up to be members that evening; we are well on our way to meet our goal of 125 members this year. The Philanthropy Committee collected almost half of a truck load of donation items for New Futures High School. The members are doing wonderful things and are more than willing to answer the call when it comes to making a difference in our community. The Board of Directors and members are very involved with fulfilling the mission of Women in Construction New Mexico and that is a wonderful thing to be a part of. We can do great things while making lasting memories when we all gather together for a common interest, women supporting women in construction. Stay well, stay safe and stay warm, it’s chilly out there.
