Women are making their mark in New Zealand’s construction
sector with another record year of 190 entries, resulting in 53 finalists in
the annual NAWIC Excellence Awards, sponsored by Naylor Love. This reflects the
outstanding contribution being made by women across the industry.
The awards, which will be held at The Amokura Gallery, Te Papa,
Wellington, on the 1st July 2022, celebrates the achievements of
women in construction along with honouring organisations who are actively
working to redress the industry’s gender imbalance.
NAWIC Past president and Awards Convenor Stacey Mendonça
says:
“During a trying and demanding time for the construction
industry, this awards programme has become a positive way to shine a light and
acknowledge stellar women within the workplace. We are constantly facing
challenges and asking more from the people in the industry, so we wish to thank
all nominees for making the time to prepare their submissions for the 2022
NAWIC Awards. The judges commented on the high calibre and wide range of roles
women are undertaking as well as balancing many other activities. They were
inspired and impressed by the 190 nominees. This has meant an extremely
difficult task for the judges and moderators to select the Finalists. All
Finalists and nominees should be proud to be part of this year's awards. We are
all excited to meet the Finalists at the NAWIC Excellence Awards Event in
Wellington on 1 July.”
A huge thank you to our major event sponsor Naylor Love, and
all our minor event sponsors, this event is possible because of your support.
The awards have ten categories which cover a wide range of
roles across the industry.
