Local NAWIC Chapter to Celebrate Women in Construction Week March 7–13, 2021
The Greater Omaha Chapter #116 of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC, www.nawicomaha.com) along with over a hundred chapters and thousands of members across the nation will this year celebrate Women in Construction (WIC) Week March 7–14. Throughout WIC Week, the NAWIC Greater Omaha Chapter #116 will promote and cohost or host daily activities. It is also a time for the chapter to give back to their community, which they already do a wonderful job of throughout the year.
The focus of Women in Construction 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.
NAWIC Chapter #116 based in Omaha also encompasses Lincoln, Council Bluffs, and the surrounding areas. First chartered in 1966, the chapter has over 50 members working in businesses whose primary focus is the construction industry. Meetings for the Greater Omaha chapter are on the second Thursday of each month in varied locations, and are open to the public.
