GET, LLC is a proud member of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) and even prouder member of the Guam NAWIC Chapter.
This week is a special one for us and NAWIC
as we are celebrating Women in Construction Week (WIC).
From March 3-9, 2013 we are joining with
other women-owned businesses in this important industry to enhance the success
of women in the construction industry.
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 including here in Guam to raise awareness of the
opportunities available for women in the construction industry and to emphasize
the growing role of women in the industry.
"While there are more than one million women employed in
the construction industry, women only comprise approximately ten percent of the
construction workforce. These women,
whether they are administrative specialists, general contractors,
subcontractors, trades people, or professionals, are vital elements to the
construction process,” said President of NAWIC President Cindy Johnsen. “'Women
in Construction Week' is simply a time set aside to thank those women for all
their efforts toward successful construction projects, bring attention to the
industry and encourage others to realize that construction is a viable,
profitable career field.”
For the NAWIC Guam Chapter #381 the week's events culminate
with a Chartering Anniversary Party to be held next Saturday night, March 9,
2013 at the Marriott Resort and Spa.
We
hope you will join Tricia and the other members of the NAWIC Guam Chapter at this great event to celebrate and support Women in
Construction Week.
