Welcome to NAWIC
Greater Kansas City Chapter #100
Who is NAWIC? |
Let's Get Social! |

The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) originally began as Women in Construction of Fort Worth, Texas. Sixteen women working in the construction industry founded the group in 1953. Knowing that women represented only a small fraction of the construction industry, the founders organized NAWIC to create a support network. Women in Construction of Fort Worth was so successful that it gained its national charter in 1955 and became the National Association of Women in Construction. Today, NAWIC provides its members with opportunities for professional development, education, networking, leadership training, public service and more.
The NAWIC Greater Kansas City Chapter was formed in 1965, and continues to provide educational, leadership and community service opportunities for members throughout the community. In September 2017, we welcomed the members of the St. Joseph, MO NAWIC Chapter to the Greater Kansas City Chapter, expanding our reach throughout Northwest Missouri and Northeast Kansas. With the growth of membership over the past few years, the NAWIC Greater Kansas City Chapter #100 became the largest chapter in the United States in 2018! We are proud of our many talented and diverse #WomenInConstruction and look forward to growing even stronger! Please check out our website, follow us on social media and feel free to register and attend our events! They are open to anyone who finds our topics interesting and valuable. |
