“When I started a new career in Construction Materials, my manager strongly suggested I join NAWIC and get on a committee… BEST ADVICE EVER! I met so many new people in other roles who helped complete the picture of construction projects from start to finish, and helped me better understand the industry. Everyone was so supportive and our sister chapters in New England are true partners in success! I also participate in a National Committee and connect with members in other areas of the country. I’m so glad for the good orderly direction to join NAWIC and get on a committee!” -Mary Lynn Hadix: Worcester Chapter VP, Sustainability Chapter Member
