Welcome to Our Amazing Region!
Connection, Advocacy, and Support
Connection, Advocacy, and Support
The Northeast Region of NAWIC is laid back and we pride ourselves on maintaining long-term close relationships while valuing every new member’s opinion from the moment you join us!
One of the greatest benefits of belonging to NAWIC is that you will receive an amazing amount of support from fellow members. We develop close relationships, regardless of geography, and champion the idea of being “sponsors” for each other, meaning that we do not simply hand out ideas and advice, we actually go to bat for one another and are actively involved in helping fellow members realize their full potential.
Join Us for the Business Relationships and Lasting Connections
We offer a safe space for you to try on different hats and learn new skills through committee work and special projects. You can use the opportunities provided through your membership to build your abilities, resume, and confidence, leading you to greater success in your career. We build leaders and many of our members have gone on to leadership positions at the National level.
You will find yourself part of a powerful network of people who will look out for you, be your champions, and connect you to resources and professional contacts. When a member finds herself in need of a new position, we rally around and use our personal networks to get her into one that is a good fit.
The Northeast Region of NAWIC is comprised of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern states. As a member of the NAWIC Northeast Region, you will gain opportunities to learn and grow as a professional, but also have fun! We value free and open communication and we invite and welcome all to become actively involved.
We look forward to welcoming you to our amazing region! Please contact our Region Director or any of our NAWIC Chapters to learn more about the incredible opportunities NAWIC has to offer!
Join Us for Regional Conferences: Spring & Fall
Connect, Learn, and Lead at Our Regional Events
While most chapters get together monthly, as a region we gather two times a year. Once in the fall to kick off the NAWIC year and once again in the spring. Both events planned by our Region Director, her committee & the host chapter. Together they team up to create an agenda of professional development & education, NAWIC related updates and offer amazing networking and team building opportunities.
