Our November general meeting was full of welcoming, learning, and celebrating.

We welcomed a new member Lauren Ertz. Lauren is with Capital Cleaning. We are happy to have you join our chapter and look forward to getting to know you!

We learned about Risk Management from our guest speakers Lee & Will, construction and contract attorneys from Meridian ID . We discussed what to look for in contract language and how to navigate our risks on and offsite.

We celebrated Ruth Fritts and her 25 years of membership. Thank you for the inspiration, education, motivation, and encouragement you’ve given throughout the years to your peers. We know you will continue to inspire us for many years to come! Together, we celebrate and take pride in your accomplishment and your commitment to NAWIC.

2021 Annual Conference

Boise Chapter had 7 members in attendance at this year’s NAWIC Annual Conference in Charlotte NC.

The conference offered wonderful Key Note Speakers.

Opening Session featured Dave Davlin, The Game Winning 3. He spoke about making the most of our moments and how to create value and make a difference in the lives of others in our personal developments.

Closing Session featured Stacy Henke, Communicating with Influence. Teaching us how to communicate effectively with tricks and tips to help us become better listeners, talkers and leaders.

There were also several breakout sessions spanning the 3 days of conference from subjects including Personal Boundaries, Construction Trends, Communication Strategies, Cyber Liability Insurance, Safety and Harassment Training.

Thank you to Andersen Construction who was a Sponsor at this year’s conference and allowed our chapter to have a table in the construction zone where we were able to raise funds for membership by selling NAWIC items and raffling a fun prize.

An educational (and fun) time was had by all as we met new friends, learned new things, networked and saw the sights of Charlotte.

During our off time, our members went to do some sight seeing and even did a haunted ghost tour with some fellow PNW members from Silicon Valley Chapter in downtown Charlotte.

Looking forward to Minneapolis next year
