CAWIC Committees
Advisory
CAWIC’s advisory council is a volunteer group formed to give advice and support to CAWICS nonprofit’s board of directors. Established to involve prospective donors, offering them a forum to give advice as well as donate and fundraise. It also includes representatives of the construction industry that can provide input on the organization’s work. This council can serve as a way for prestigious former governing board members or community leaders to lend their names to CAWIC’s legacy and treat it as a way to train future members of the board of directors.
Bursary & Awards
Awards bursaries to female students enrolled in a construction-related field; prepares an information packages and application form for distribution to colleges and universities; reviews applications and selects award recipients; arranges a presentation of the awards at a general meeting.
