KBS is proud to celebrate Women in Construction (WIC) Week on March 5-11, 2023 along with the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC). Throughout the week, KBS will be highlighting the women who play an important role in the success of our firm.
The mission statement of the NAWIC is: “… committed to championing women to impact the direction of the construction industry. NAWIC provides education, community and advocacy for women.”
With over one million women employed in the construction industry, this only makes up for 11% of the industry workforce.
The focus of WIC Week is to highlight women as a visible component of the construction industry. It is also a time for local chapters to give back to their communities. WIC Week provides an occasion for NAWIC’s thousands of members across the country to raise awareness of the opportunities available for women in the construction industry and to emphasize the growing role of women in the industry.
