Event: NAWIC National Conference 2015

The National Association of Women in Construction’s (NAWIC) inaugural National Conference in October 2015 will champion change in the construction industry by “inspiring champions of change and working together for greater inclusiveness and flexibility across every age, gender and culture”.

To be held at Melbourne’s Pullman Hotel on October 8 and 9, the  NAWIC National Conference’s five key aims are to work collectively on how to:

1. Reduce the gender equity pay gap

2. Increase participation of women in the construction industry

3. Inspire champions of change for inclusiveness, behaviour, flexibility regardless of age, gender or culture

4. Grow and sustain a healthier industry for the future

5. Build a better future for construction in Australia

Details on conference streams, topics, workshops and speakers are yet to be released.

NAWIC, a not-for-profit organisation, formed in 1995, says its “values of courage, inclusion, safety and wellbeing, integrity and resilience are upheld by the Association’s four pillars – to raise the profile of women in the construction industry; to develop careers and leaders; to develop networks, share knowledge and experience; and to take positions and advocate – to ensure unity in all aspects of the construction industry”.
