NGA's Andrew Haring recently attended Camp NAWIC, an event sponsored by the National Association of Women in Construction and hosted by the Associated General Contractors of America, to mentor girls in grades 8-12 interested in learning more about the construction industry.
More about the event
For the first time in 2023, event organizers included glass into the program, pitched and hosted by Kristie Rehberger, general manager, A Glasco, an NGA Member and founding member and president of the California Glass Association. The event aims to further NGA's goal to encourage more young people to choose a career in skilled trades by providing hands-on experience and training that exposes them to promising career paths in construction.
Volunteers also included multiple glaziers from A Glasco, Casey Weir of Rountree Glass Co. and Christy Sellers of Lemon Grove Glass & Supply.
NGA thanks Frameless Hardware Company and Glasswerks Los Angeles for donating the equipment and materials used at the event.
