The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) originally began as Women in Construction of Fort Worth, Texas. Sixteen women working in the construction industry founded it in 1953. 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. Today, NAWIC provides its members with opportunities for professional development, education, networking, leadership training, public service, and more.
The National Association of Women in Construction Charlotte Chapter #121 was chartered on April 16, 1966. We are lucky enough to have one charter member, Phyllis Beachum, CIT, actively participating in our chapter.
Meetings are currently being held on the 3rd Tuesday of the month.
Most meetings take place at Blythe Construction, 2911 N. Graham Street, Charlotte, NC 28206
