This #MemberMonday, we want to highlight the incomparable Narda Reyes. She is not only an incoming NAWIC Orange County board director, but she recently coordinated ELLJAY ACOUSTICS, INC.'s effort to install the insulation and drywall for the Thomas House Family Shelter remodels of apartments 8 and 9. She is a valued member of NAWIC, and we are lucky to have her voice, positive energy, and commitment. #womeninconstruction #NAWICOC #orangecountyca #womeninleadership #womenintrades

What an incredible last day we had at the 69th National Association of Women in Construction Annual Conference! 🌟The day kicked off with empowering workshops, from the Construction Career Camp to a hands-on Drywall session. We also explored how to create a Culture of Trust and discussed the importance of Mental Health, both crucial elements in today’s construction industry 👷♀️ The conference concluded with an inspiring Keynote brunch featuring Jessica Rector, MBA. Her powerful message, “Get Out of Your Comfort Zone and Into Possibilities,” was a reminder that growth comes from stepping into the unknown. To cultivate a growth mindset, we must break the cycle of doing the same things in the same way. Rector taught us the power of the four C's —Curiosity, Courage, Confidence, and Connections 💪Looking forward to seeing everyone in Boston in 2025. Together, We Rise! 🏗 Don’t forget, YOU'RE A ROCKSTAR! 🌟 #NAWICAC2024 #NAWICOC #GrowthMindset #WomenInConstruction #Leadership #Houston2024 #Boston2025 #TogetherWeRise Liv Hanlon Lisa Thibodeaux, MBA, MA Ed, CIT, CDT Marjorie Del Toro Ivette Kincaid Narda Reyes

Day Three at the National Association of Women in Construction Conference was a great day of learning, celebrating, and unforgettable memories 🎉 We kicked off #daythree with a delicious breakfast 🍳🥓 followed by some amazing breakout sessions. The breakout sessions were nothing short of amazing. Whether the session was "Increasing Profitability with Successful Job Costing, Weaving Mental Health into your Existing Company Culture, We are Stronger Together, Understand the Power of Your Voice, or Becoming the Warrior," each session was diverse, insightful, and filled with strategies that we can’t wait to bring back to our teams 💪💡 Following the breakout sessions, we had our Industry Awards Luncheon 🏆 where Marjorie Del Toro was recognized for her incredible contributions as the OSHA Alliance Chair. A very special thanks to Ivette Kincaid with Kahana Feld and Rachel Jones with Pete Fowler Construction who hosted this year's Cocktail Reception 🍸Dressed in our best, we honored our incredible outgoing 2023-2024 National Board and installed the incoming 2024-2025 NAWIC National Board at the Awards and Installation Gala👗 A huge congrats to all the award winners, and to our previous and incoming leaders 👏 We ended the night with big hair, jumpsuits, fanny packs, and neon everything 🎊 While dancing the night away at our 80s-themed after-party💃 Cheers to the amazing community and safe space we've built together at NAWIC, see you in a bit for the AC closing day activities! #NAWIC #NAWICOC #NAWICConference #WomenInConstruction #Leadership #Networking #AwardsGala #80sParty #PersonalDevelopment #ProfessionalDevelopment #Gratitude 👷♀️ Liv Hanlon Marjorie Del Toro Ivette Kincaid Narda Reyes Lisa Thibodeaux, MBA, MA Ed, CIT, CDT

Day 2 of the National Association of Women in Construction Conference was filled with inspiration, learning, and fun! 😁 We kicked off the day with a warm welcome from Martha Castex-Tatum, Mayor Pro-Tem and the first African American female on the San Marcos, TX City Council 🇨🇱 Her energy set the tone as she welcomed us to Houston! Our opening keynote speaker, 💫Christine Cashen, CSP, Speaker Hall of Fame, brought it on and taught us "How to Stay Inspired When You Are So Darn Tired!" 😪 The session was packed with practical tools and strategies to change thinking patterns, identify time drainers and energy gainers, and how to reclaim our power when things feel out of control 💪 Remember, "You can be the fountain or you can be the drain." After the keynote, we dove into breakout sessions tailored to our interests. From learning about the "Realities of being a Jobsite Athlete" to "Employment Law for People Managers", and "Finding Mentorship in Any Room", there was something for everyone. It was hard to choose which sessions to attend 🎤 Lunch was another highlight as we gathered to celebrate our annual Committee Awards. A big congratulations to our chapter sister, Lisa Thibodeaux, MBA, MA Ed, CIT, CDT, for receiving the Outstanding Committee Member award! 🏆 We wrapped up the day with a fun-filled "Bowl for NEF" fundraiser at Pinstripe Lane 🎳 It was a blast unwinding with drinks, appetizers, and some friendly competition on the lanes. Whether we were cheering for the best costumes, the highest scores, or even the lowest scores, it was a perfect end to the day. Can't wait to see what Day 3 has in store! #NAWICConference #LearningAndFun #WomenInConstruction #NAWICOC #Empowerment #Mentorship #SelfDevelopment #ProfessionalDevelopment 👷♀️
