Building the Future.

Held annually during the first full week of March, WIC Week® spotlights the importance of diversity, equity, and opportunity in shaping the built environment.
What is WIC Week®?
Women in Construction (WIC) Week® is a nationwide initiative that advances and promotes the vital role of women in the construction industry. Led by the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC), WIC Week® brings together thousands of professionals through national webinars, regional and chapter events.
“We cannot wait for change — we must build it.”
In her 2026 WIC Week® kickoff message, NAWIC President Rita Brown, calls on construction professionals to recognize the impact of women across the industry and recommit to building safer, stronger workplaces.
Her message emphasizes zero tolerance for harassment and the shared responsibility to create environments where every worker feels respected and empowered.

A Legacy of Leadership
WIC Week® dates back over six decades. In 1960, Amarillo Mayor A.F. Madison proclaimed the first “Women in Construction Week” to honor the founding of NAWIC and recognize the growing contributions of women in the field. What began as a local observance has since grown into a national movement.
In 1998, NAWIC moved WIC Week to the first full week of March to align with Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day — a strategic shift that strengthened NAWIC’s leadership in championing equity and visibility for women in construction.
Today, WIC Week® includes national campaigns, regional programs, and hundreds of chapter-led events across the U.S. — from jobsite tours and panel discussions to mentorship sessions, media outreach, and community service projects.
