Crystal Vision Awards 2011

Hi PGTI (and internet fans),

Can you think of someone that's made a difference in the lives of women in construction? I'm sure we could think of at least one person to nominate for NAWIC's Crystal Vision Awards! These awards are designed to recognize people who have made significant contributions to advancing women in the construction industry. If you know someone who meets the criteria:

The Crystal Vision Award will be awarded to a nonmember of NAWIC. The Crystal Achievement Award will be awarded to a member of NAWIC. All nominees must meet at least three of the following criteria:

1. Achieved a position of significance and authority enabling them to influence and/or make policy decisions beneficial to women in the construction industry work force.

2. Encouraged and empowered women in construction through establishing company policy, enacting legislation or initiating organizational structure.

3. Actively promoted the inclusion and/or advancement of women in construction.

4. Showed leadership in taking initiatives or risks on behalf of women in construction.

5. Successfully broke barriers with a "first" for women in construction.

6. Acted as a role model and/or mentor for women.

I encourage you to apply/nominate someone today. The application is only one page- plus some supporting documentation. For example, you have to say how you know this person and share a little about this person's accomplishments. The work we do to advance women's success in construction is not always recognized. The CVA's are a great way to support people who have gone the extra mile to make progress happen.

In solidarity,

Shaun
