NAWIC in the Carolinas: Celebrating WIC Week 2024
Women in Construction Week is celebrated all over the country and internationally. National Women in Construction (WIC) Week 2024 is scheduled for March 3-9. The National Association of Women in Construction’s eight chapters in the Carolinas belong to NAWIC’s South Atlantic Region – one of eight national regions for the association.
NAWIC South Atlantic Region Director Rhae Sutphin noted, “The NAWIC South Atlantic Region is so proud to help facilitate WIC Week this year. Our region’s chapters have been working so hard to plan some incredible events. This year’s WIC week is packed with hard hat tours, panel discussions, supporting local charities, a huge end of week celebration and so much more! It’s a great opportunity for women in construction to join forces and celebrate one another, across the region and beyond. We aim to bring awareness to women leaders joining the construction industry and give them the Keys to the Future!”
WIC Week 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. It is also a time for local chapters to give back to their communities. Community service projects, job site tours, membership drives, children’s activities, hands-on workshops, fundraisers, and school programs are some of the ways local chapters will observe WIC Week. Local chapters also appeal to their local, state, and national representatives to issue official WIC Week proclamations.

About NAWIC
The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) began as Women in Construction of Fort Worth, Texas 1953. Sixteen women came together, knowing that women represented only a tiny fraction of the construction industry, and 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. Today, NAWIC provides its members with opportunities for professional development, education, networking, leadership training, public service, and more.
