Successful Guam NAWIC Anniversary Event



The National Association of Women in Construction Guam Chapter #381 celebrated their Chartering last night and was such a huge success.  Our hats off to the Executive Committee for organizing the event that showcased this unique group of women.  Most of the Guam Chapter was in attendance-a sign that despite a downed economy and struggling construction sector each was willing to get together and honor the work of women in construction over the past year.

The Guam Chapter will be nominating Geri Leon Guerrero of ADZtech Advertising and Public Relations for the Region 10 Vision of Excellence Award.  The firecracker-General Manager of the local PR firm has been a staunch advocate of the construction industry and has been an effective marketing voice of the Guam Contractors Association over the past year.  Chapter #381 Founder Jaylene Kent won last year's Regional Vision Award and Guam is poised to make it two wins in a row.

Also, Island Equipment used the time to thank their loyal customers for their business this past year.  I must say Matt Pothens and his team did a great job of bring the event all together. Dinner and dancing was complete with presentations on the Doosan lines of power generation equipment. 

Expect the Guam NAWIC to grow over the next couple of years.  There are some great ladies leading this bunch.  GET, LLC credits Irene Hicks and Rose Delvecchio for sharing this group with us.  It is so very important that we all take the time to push for more women to get involved in construction.  

Why?  

Self-employment will continue to rise.  The Construction Industry is projected to grow 10.2% into the next three years peaking at 15% by 2016.

Believe.  Persevere.  Dare. 


These are the core values that drive this group to enhance the success of women in the construction industry. Let's all do our part to grow this important industry.
