NAWIC was formed in 1955 with the core purpose of enhancing the success of women in the construction industry. In 1979, the Maine Chapter was formed with 34 members, bringing that purpose to Maine. Today there are two chapters in the state, covering Kittery to Presque Isle with the Maine Chapter serving central and southern Maine.
Scholarship Program: Construction Expo of Maine has been the vehicle for the Maine Chapter to award thousands of dollars in scholarships to young men and women from Maine that are pursuing careers in construction-related fields. Since the inception of the program, two hundred fifty students have received $500 or $1000 a year, for one to four years. Scholarships are based on scholastic achievement and financial need.
