NAWIC Columbus - Chapter 86

The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) originally began as Women in Construction of Fort Worth, Texas. It was founded in 1953 by 16 women working in the construction industry. 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. The Columbus chapter of NAWIC was founded in April of 1964. We are an organization of Women employed in many facets of the Construction Industry. We gather on the third Wednesday of each month and enjoy listening to speakers and programs to improve our careers and our personal lives.
