National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC)

We would like to invite you the next NAWIC meeting. Our next meeting will be on Thursday, January 21, 2010 in San Ramon at 5:30pm. Our speaker for this meeting will be Alice Powers from Lewis, Brisbois, Bisgaard & Smith, LLP. Ms. Powers will be discussing wage and hour lawsuits and exempt vs. non-exempt in relation to the construction industry. NAWIC offers a great support system for women who are in the construction industry. Through NAWIC, we have increased our knowledge of the industry by networking with other members employed in the construction industry. It has also enabled us to broaden valuable contacts for our firm and build lasting relationships. The NAWIC meetings are always educational and related to the construction industry. If you are interested in attending this meeting, learning more about our personal experiences, or how you can benefit from NAWIC please contact us and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
