From March 5-11 this year, the Greater Omaha Chapter of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC, nawicomaha.com) celebrated the 25th Annual Women in Construction (WIC) Week. WIC week serves to promote NAWIC’s core purpose to strengthen and amplify the success of women in the construction industry.
The Greater Omaha Chapter of NAWIC participated in a week-long celebration recognizing achievements, giving back to the local community and supporting their members. Specific events included yoga, reading to elementary students, a suicide awareness seminar, a job site tour, a blood drive and a clean-up at one of the local parks. WIC week extends beyond the local chapter and was celebrated by NAWIC organizations nationwide, as well as many additional individuals, companies and organizations across the US.
