Construction Industry Aims to Bring More Women Into the Ranks

Buffalo Niagara Chapter of National Association of Women in Construction Holds Event to Highlight Career Options for Women

The Buffalo Niagara chapter of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) held an event at Danforth in the Town of Tonawanda to highlight career options for women. In a panel discussion, three local women, including Partner Erin Borek, who work in the construction industry encouraged the students in attendance from local BOCES programs to explore all the opportunities open to them.

NAWIC says 1.2 million women work in construction and constitute about 10% of the construction industry in the United States. Erin urged students to feel confident in their decisions and to trust their inner voice because it’s smart, capable and competent.
