| In
1960 the St. Louis Chapter became the 38th chapter of
NAWIC. The ladies of the St. Louis Chapter embraced the
purposes and programs and are now an important player
in the Construction Industry of St. Louis.
Partnerships
within the construction industry enable us to join together
to educate our member and the public. These joint ventures
allow us to reach out to all areas,
The
St. Louis Chapter is dedicated to educating our current
and future workforces. Our monthly meetings educate
our members in areas of construction practices and professional
development. We have sponsored and/or participated in
Block Kids Contest, Building Design Programs, CAD/Drafting
Contest, Career Days and Career Fairs.
In
addition for the past 30+ years we have awarded scholarship
to students seeking degrees in construction related
subjects. From 1990 thru 2006 we also awarded Workforce
Awards to workers in the Trades. Grants are given to
educational programs that benefit the construction industry.
Our
local partners are: American Society of Professional
Estimators, Associated General Contractors of St. Louis,
Construction Career Center, Missouri Women in Trades,
New Traditions Program of St. Louis Community Colleges,
