After moving to a new city, NAWIC’s Cleveland chapter has been the professional organization where I have felt the most welcomed and been able to actually make lasting connections with other women in the construction industry. Since our members come from various backgrounds, I was able to learn about all aspects of the construction industry in Northeast Ohio. The women in NAWIC have pushed me to take leadership positions in both the organization as president and also in my career, and they have been incredibly supportive and kind.
