Since 1995, the dedicated and knowledgeable staff of the AWC has offered beneficial services and support to its members. While the AWC does place an emphasis on enhancing the growth and development of the construction industry as a whole, the AWC also promotes the growth and development of the individual woman business owner member by presenting educational workshops and seminars to help improve professional business skills. Topics have included programs on contract law, Minnesota prevailing wage issues, safety and OSHA standards, accounting practices for contractors, project labor agreements and certification programs for women and minority businesses. The AWC also provides an inclusive and welcoming forum for women contractors in Minnesota to network with each other, and offer professional and personal advice and support. The AWC has represented women business owners in the construction industry at the St. Paul Summit, The St. Paul Partnering Committee, The Annual Construction Exchange, Women and Minority Business Advisory Committees or forums with state agencies, the Metropolitan Airports Commission, Hennepin County and the University of Minnesota. Members of the AWC include women who bid work in the construction industry as general contractors, specialty subcontractors, material suppliers and trucking businesses. As contractors or material suppliers, they are working statewide on residential and commercial projects as vertical contractors, or on transportation-related projects building roads, bridges, airports and waterways.
