Welcome to NAWIC Atlanta Chapter #49. We are just one of 161 Chapters throughout the U.S and 5 International Chapters who make up the National Association of Women in Construction. Our core purpose is to enhance the success of women in the construction industry. By "construction industry" we mean every facet; this includes project managers, architects, engineers, administrative assistants, receptionists, tradeswomen, comptrollers, accounts payables and receivables, construction attorney's, and insurance companies, to name a few. We offer a wide variety of programs to ensure that the interests of every member are covered.

In addition to offering numerous educational opportunities to our members, we hold several industry related competitions for children of all ages in an effort to encourage them to pursue a career in the construction industry.

NAWIC relies on member volunteers for leadership. The Board of Directors is voted into office by the membership. They are here to represent the members and all members are encouraged to contact any officer or director to share ideas. If you have an idea to enhance our appeal to more women in the industry we want to hear it. It is our goal to provide members with educational programs, seminars, and workshops to help you succeed in your professional endeavors.

Our monthly meetings are held the first Tuesday of the month, unless otherwise noted, from 5:30pm-7:30pm at the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center on Spring Street, Atlanta. The meetings include a half hour networking opportunity, a sit down dinner and an industry related topic presentation.

I encourage you to take advantage of the many volunteer opportunities we have by joining or chairing a committee. Participating in the numerous committees offers more opportunities to network and expand your career connections. Our chapter is strong and appealing because of the drive of our volunteers who had visions on what was needed by our members and how to meet the professional needs of our members. The various programs and educational opportunities offered are a result of these member visions.
I look forward to seeing you at our meetings.
