For more than 55 years, NAWIC has helped women take advantage of the opportunities in construction. Whether you want to embark on a new career, establish a networking base, be a mentor, make a di erence in your community, continue your education or invest in great friend- ships , NAWIC o ers a variety of op- portunities — large and small. Savvy NAWIC members, business owners and managers can expect value from their investment in NAWIC. We at NAWIC pride ourselves on being a vital part of the community. For instance, every year NAWIC teams up with Opportunity Village for one of our community outreach projects. We just renovated the Cookie Shack, providing shelves to display gingerbread houses and a counter and service windows to sell and serve cookies and hot chocolate to patrons of the Magical Forest. We have many annual events such as "Block Kids," when we help elementary students build a project out of Legos and other materials — their creativity is just amazing! We also hold a "Fix It Herself Program" with the Southern Nevada Girls Scout Council. We o er the scouts a NAWIC badge, and they have the chance to earn a wood- working or gardening badge. With our annual CAD Drawing Contest, high school students are awarded scholarship money and the chance to move on to the regional and national level. Last year's winner made us very proud by winning all three levels. We participate in Construction Career Day every year, where we educate young ladies about all the available career paths in the construction industry and o er a mentoring program and access to scholarship funds — the NAWIC Las Vegas Chapter recently donated $1,000 to the local chapter of the Associated General Contractors As- sociation's (AGC) Scholarship fund. We host a monthly networking dinner featuring speakers from the construction industry. Dinner spon- sorships are still available for 2015. Please visit our website .
