This year, National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) will celebrate the 12th anniversary of Women in Construction (WIC) Week March 1-7, 2009 . NAWIC’s mission is to enhance the success of women in the construction industry. For 12 years, the focus of this week has been to spotlight women in the construction industry and for members to reach out and give back to their communities. NAWIC promotes WIC Week nationally to raise awareness of the possibilities the construction industry holds for potential employees. The theme this year as shown in the special letterhead is “NAWIC Builds Leaders…Community…Passion” WIC week is designed to increase the visibility of women working in the construction industry, share our passion and encourage others to join the industry. This year the WIC Week Committee has set two goals:
A proclamation from every state Participation by every chapter
To check off these goals we need a strong effort by the WIC Week Chair in each chapter. And I know that means we also need dedication from each chapter President. At APC, I provided commitment forms for each chapter. Thank you to:
	Salt Lake City Greater Phoenix Colorado Springs
