For more than 71 years, the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) has championed and invested in women across the construction industry—empowering them to navigate their careers, seize new opportunities, and lead with confidence.

From dynamic networking and continuing education to mentorship, philanthropy, and volunteerism, NAWIC opens doors to meaningful connections and lifelong friendships. It is a community built not only on professional advancement, but on shared purpose and support.

 

The NAWIC Greater New York Chapter #240 proudly advances NAWIC’s core mission: offering a wide range of programs and 13 active committees focused on business development, DEI, sustainability, and more. From leadership sessions to scholarship fundraisers and hard hat tours, NAWIC GNY #240 creates space for women in construction to thrive, lead, and shape the future of our industry—together.

​

We support women at every stage of their careers—both in the office and on-site—connecting construction professionals and tradeswomen throughout our vibrant city. Our chapter reflects the breadth and strength of the industry itself. Members include construction attorneys, engineers, architects, project and construction managers, sales professionals, equipment suppliers, general contractors, site safety specialists, office administrators, marketing professionals, city inspectors, and skilled tradeswomen. This rich diversity of expertise creates a powerful network that elevates and benefits every member.

​

Our programming is equally robust. We host formal meetings, continuing education seminars, leadership development sessions, panel discussions, hard hat tours, DEI initiatives, Emerging Professional programs, MWBE-focused events, professional development workshops, golf outings, our annual Gala, and more—along with informal gatherings and happy hours that strengthen personal connections. All women in construction are welcome to participate, with exclusive benefits and discounts available to members.

​

Among the most valuable members-only benefits is active participation in our committees and programs. Each committee meets three to four times per year and features timely, insightful speakers addressing major development initiatives, public sector programs, market trends, business strategy, management and marketing training, and policy priorities. These sessions provide not only knowledge and inspiration, but also unparalleled opportunities to build relationships with industry peers and leaders.
