Membership has its benefits.
|
Our chapter continues to grow. As of January 2020, we had 84 members representing all aspects of the construction industry.
The chapter was honored at the Annual Conference in August in Orlando, FL with the National Marketing & Membership Award. As a chapter, we are humbled by the recognition, because it's the members who made it happen. This was not a goal set forth at the beginning of the year, but growth that occurred naturally and spontaneously based upon the types of professional development programming offered, the enthusiasm for NAWIC and the individual construction career successes exhibited by our members, and the companies that support them. If you would like more information on membership, our Membership Chair, will be happy to help! In fact, any of our Officers and Board Members are available to speak to you or your employer about the benefits of membership - not just the opportunities for leadership development and networking, but the opportunities that membership and support of NAWIC will provide YOU and YOUR EMPLOYER! |
Each year we have members who want to participate in the Membership Committee. These individuals work to communicate the value of membership in NAWIC to individuals and companies. If you would like a presentation on NAWIC membership for your company, please reach out to our Membership Chair at [email protected] |
