WOMEN IN CONSTRUCTION WEEK
March 1-7, 2020
What is WIC week you ask? The focus of Women in Construction (WIC) Week is to highlight women as a viable component of the construction industry. WIC Week also provides an occasion for NAWIC’s thousands of members across the country to raise awareness of the opportunities available for women in the construction industry and to emphasize the growing role of women in the industry. It is also a time for local chapters to give back to their communities. The NAWIC Portland 54 Chapter have all worked extremely hard to put together a fantastic calendar of events for WIC week, which includes brunch/lunch and learns, jobsite tours, happy hours and construction panels/discussions, all led by amazing women in the construction industry.
