This is her first year working in the construction industry and just joined NAWIC in 2023. She noticed our female partners are good at their craft, but the industry does not have many women. Looking for ways to broaden outreach and connect with other women in this industry, Lauren was happy to find NAWIC and excited to learn about a NH chapter. She looks forward to meeting others and learning more!
