The AWC
represents women business owners (WBO) throughout the year and promotes
doing business with women contractors. One of our main goals is
to provide our WBO members opportunities to meet with general contractors,
government agencies and community-based organizations face-to-face.
We promote networking as a means of building successful business
relationships.
- AWC focuses
on stimulating public policy and industry practices that affect
women construction firms.
Members and staff of the AWC
meet with and advise the following organizations:
Minnesota Department of Transportation
Metropolitan Airports Commission
University of Minnesota
City of Saint Paul (Construction Partnering Program)
Associated General Contractors of Minnesota
National Association of Minority Contractors-Upper Midwest
- “Networking Mixers”
offer WBO members, agency organizations, general/prime contractors
and service providers an opportunity to gather and share expertise
and business opportunities to help members grow their company.
- Quarterly General Contractor
Open Houses are an exclusive benefit of membership. At
these events, members are invited by a general contractor company
to meet one-on-one with their project managers and estimators
at their corporate office. This is an exciting way for members
to make connections and support the growth of their business.
- AWC’s
annual Golf Tournament is the
primary vehicle for generating funds for scholarships presented
to college women studying the industry.
- Timely newsletter, Web site and electronic communications
keep members up-to-date with association activities and initiatives.
As a member, you can advertise at discounted rates. We also
keep you notified of bid notices targeted towards WBOs.
- Educational Programs
and Board Member Committees
allow us to inform and network with women business owners and
industry leaders, as well as provide opportunities for personal
and business growth. Our training and committees work to provide
invaluable information to help members run their business.
- Discounts are
available to members of the AWC
for AWC events and through
AWC partnering agreements with
other organizations. For example, as a member, of the AWC,
you can save 20% on your first year dues when you join AGC.
- AWC’s Annual and Holiday
Celebrations are great opportunities to discuss industry concerns, meet
industry leaders and create new business contacts in a festive personal setting.
