MEET THE TEAM
THE NAWIC NEW ZEALAND TEAM
NAWIC New Zealand is a voluntary, non-profit association representing women who work across the construction sector, as well as those employed in organisations providing services to the sector.
We are proudly supported by a dedicated network of women and allies working across all areas of construction, united by a shared commitment to connection, advocacy, and professional development.
NAWIC operates through a Governance Board, a National Operations Team, and 14 Regional Branches. Our structure and purpose are guided by the NAWIC Constitution. Download a copy here.
