Ashley Spence gave the Inspiration Moment opening the convention, (WAY TO GO GIRL!) and mentioned there were 385 members and 95 guests for a total attendance of 490. You know how we love our acronyms in construction and she provided us with one she learned: If you are feeling bad, HALT: -Are you HUNGRY -Are you ANGRY about something -Are you LONELY -Are you TIRED |
The NAWIC National Conference in Houston was the first conference I have ever attended, and it was well worth it! I was nervous going into it, as I had just joined NAWIC two months prior to the conference. Still, my nerves quickly disappeared after the first orientation meeting, during which I immediately connected with several women at my table. I had an incredible time meeting new people, learning valuable skills, and growing my network. There is something special about being in a room of 400+ women who are all in the same industry and who all want to help each other out. Needless to say, I will be at next year’s conference and hopefully many, many more after that! I am honored to be part of such a great organization that recognizes women in the construction industry and makes you feel like you are part of something more.
