About the Founder
Herlema Owens

The Association of Women Construction Workers of America, Inc. (AWCWA) is dedicated to transforming lives through careers in construction. We believe in the power of the industry to foster self-worth and offer second chances. Founded in 2006 by Herlema Owens, AWCWA has a rich history of advocacy and education. In 2011, we expanded our impact by launching "Build Successes with AWCWA" in collaboration with Education Director Joi Beard. By 2015-2016, we had developed pre-construction trade training programs with Nassau BOCES Adult Education. Our extensive industry connections provide access to a wide range of job opportunities, while our personalized training programs cover skills such as safety technology, renewable energy, and advanced construction techniques. Our professional development services help members enhance their expertise in project management and leadership. We are dedicated to providing ongoing support and guidance, fostering success and growth in the construction field. We strive for excellence in empowering women in construction, building a well-informed workforce, and creating meaningful opportunities for all.
