25th Annual Women in Construction Week Celebrates Many Paths to Success
Ask Lauline Mitchell about opportunities for women in the construction industry and her face lights up. Then she begins counting off the many job categories, the need to fill positions at all levels and the higher pay that comes with a career in construction. Mitchell is the president of NAWIC, the National Association of Women in Construction and she will be a featured speaker at an event in Michigan for this year’s WIC Week taking place March 5-11.
WIC Week is short for Women in Construction Week, a series of events around the country that celebrates the roles of women in the construction industry. NAWIC is the creator and sponsor of WIC Week since it was launched by their organization 25 years ago. This year’s WIC Week celebrates its anniversary with a theme of “Many Paths. One Mission,” which speaks to the goal of bringing more women to the industry at all levels.
