September 10th, 2015

The 2015 National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) NSW Awards for Excellence took place last week to reward outstanding performance of individuals within construction and building industry in New South Wales.

“The evolution of NAWIC in bringing more and more people together with greater diversity, increased knowledge, and enhanced learnings in an environment of commitment and passion means we are contributing significantly to an ever evolving industry that is connected, collaborative and effective. I see my ultimate responsibility as working for all women in this industry – that they are more accepted, motivated and enabled, and that they have greater opportunity and success in their own carer journeys,” says NAWIC’s NSW Chapter President, Sarah Hogan.
