Staff Report

Wednesday, March 8th, 2023

In celebration of National Association of Women In Construction Week (WIC Week), local chapter, NAWIC Coastal Georgia #380 will host a variety of events, in partnership with Habitat for Humanity, that are geared towards the construction industry and Savannah community. 

WIC Week Chair, Jessica Leavitt of Alair Homes Savannah, on planning the exciting week of events: “It’s been such a treat planning the WIC week events this year. We have a full slate of activities that we hope appeal to a broad spectrum of people in and around the construction industry. The idea is to inspire, educate and converse with each one of these events. I could not be more proud of our committee as well as our partners at Coastal Empire Habitat for Humanity. Without the volunteer hours we would not be able to have the caliber of events throughout the week like we are having! I hope you’ll join us for at least one!” 

Attendees of the week’s events will see workshops, job site tours, gifting of scholarships to local educational institutions and women-lead panels that all revolve around the local built environment. For a full list of events and activities, visit http://bit.ly/3ssAd7Y

“Working with the Coastal Empire Habitat for Humanity and our members to plan and bring a roster of diverse educational, social and celebratory events has been a pleasure.  We hope that there is something for everyone!” - Jessica Leavitt, Alair Homes Savannah, WIC Week Chair
