President's Report

Happy New Year, NAWIC Philadelphia Chapter 145 Members!
As we step into this new year, I want to begin by wishing each of you a happy, healthy, and successful New Year. I am truly excited about what lies ahead for our chapter and the opportunities we have to continue growing, learning, and supporting one another as Women in Construction.


As we move forward, I want to be very intentional about encouraging member engagement and leadership. Our chapter’s success depends on all of us stepping up, sharing our talents, and getting involved. We need members to join committees, lend their voices, and help drive the work of the chapter.
NAWIC Philadelphia is strongest when we work together — and we truly cannot do this work alone.


I encourage each of you to make the most out of your NAWIC experience. Whether that means joining a committee, attending meetings regularly, participating in events, or stepping into a leadership role, there is a place for everyone to contribute and grow.

Please note the following meeting information for the year ahead:
* Chapter meetings will be held on the 2nd Thursday on a bi-monthly basis (starting next month)
* Meeting times will alternate between 8:30 AM and 3:00 PM
* A calendar invite will be sent out to ensure you can plan accordingly


This structure is designed to provide flexibility while maximizing participation, and we look forward to seeing strong attendance and engagement throughout the year.
Thank you for your continued commitment to NAWIC Philadelphia Chapter 145. I am confident that together, we will make this a year of impact, connection, and progress.


Here’s to a powerful year ahead — let’s Elevate The Experience in 2026 and get to work!

Warm regards,
Kimura Anderson, MBA
