    The Association of Women Contractors (AWC) provides unique support to women business owners in the construction industry. The organization was founded in 1995 by a group of pioneering women who were determined to help other women succeed in a male dominated industry. 

    Members of the AWC include women who bid work in the construction industry as general contractors, specialty subcontractors, material suppliers and trucking businesses. As contractors or material suppliers, they are working statewide on residential and commercial projects as vertical contractors, or on transportation related projects building roads, bridges, airports and waterways.

    The organization has grown to more than 100 women business owner and associate members since its inception. The current board of directors is committed to developing a professionally managed firm that delivers exceptional value to its members.

    Our Approach

    The organization promotes contract opportunities, monitors legislative issues that impact the industry, and provides a forum for women contractors to network with each other. An emphasis is placed on enhancing the growth and development of the construction industry while providing women business owners with education and professional resources.

     

    Testimonials

    On Site Sanitation will not be renewing their memberships with most associations, EXCEPT- AWC. While each association has its own merits, with construction as bad as it is right now, we have to look very carefully at where our promotional money is spent. But it’s not only the dollar amount per year. It’s also about which association does the best job at getting me in front of my customers, or potential customers. Not an event where I am only hounded by retired construction guys, wanting free toilets, and jackets, or where the decision makers surround themselves with their own employees and don’t take time talk to vendors, or where I go to the events only to find I am with room full of vendors and not owners. Barb Christensen has done a great job of getting the decision makers to the AWC events. And, because the events are at various places, not only do I get to meet new people, but I also get to go to places I wouldn't normally. I believe the Association of Women Contractors does a good job at encouraging networking. I appreciate your efforts, which is why we are staying members of AWC.
