Join Us for the Business Relationships and Lasting Connections
Being a NAWIC member means I’m never walking this path alone. I’m supported by a network of strong women who open doors, share knowledge, and help me grow both personally and professionally.
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.
