Natalye Jackson, VDC Manager with Hood Construction, Honored Nationally by NAWIC

Hood Construction is proud to share that Virtual Design Manager, Natalye Jackson, was awarded the Executive Spotlight Shining Star Award at the 68th Annual National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) Conference held in Portland, OR, in August 2023.

The NAWIC Executive Committee of the National Board chose to single out four women who significantly contribute to the organization. Out of the four women honored, Natalye was personally chosen by the NAWIC President-Elect, Kelly Aust, for her achievements.

“I admire how Natalye started her career path over by going back to school and creating a new role for herself at Hood,” NAWIC President-Elect Kelly Aust said. “Natalye is a firefly that lights up the room and is a wonderful ambassador for NAWIC.”

Natalye joined NAWIC in 2020 and currently is the Vice President of the Columbia, SC chapter. She has also served as the Chair of Professional Development, the Recording Secretary and is heavily involved in the Education and Nomination Committees.

Last year, Natalye was awarded the 2022 NAWIC Future Leader of the Year Award for the South Atlantic Region.

“I love what NAWIC has done for my confidence and my career. I have just truly enjoyed getting to see women in this association evolve in their careers and become more confident in their work,” said Jackson.
