On Dec. 5, ReArch, a development, construction, and property management services company headquartered in South Burlington, Vt., sponsored the chartering ceremony of Vermont Chapter 395 of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC), Vermont Business Magazine reports.
ReArch Co.'s Nicole Benton—one of several women who played a crucial role in establishing the chapter—has been elected president of the new chapter.
In Nicole's words, "The resurgence of the Vermont Chapter for NAWIC will provide Vermont's Construction Industry with much-needed awareness, enthusiasm, leadership, and camaraderie. It's no secret that the skilled trades and construction industry have been struggling. Local chapter associations like the NAWIC Vermont Chapter will help bring life back to the industry and bring newer and younger talent to the table for years to come."
