StarChapter Success - NAWIC Montgomery

The Montgomery Chapter of NAWIC (National Association of Women in Construction) offers its members education, support and networking to help advance their careers in the construction industry. All women working in construction and construction related businesses are eligible for membership, including women in the trades, project management, marketing, administration, and executive leadership. We were able to connect with Becky Harris, their chapter president, to learn how StarChapter has been able to help them with their membership engagement plan and streamlining the management of their chapter.

1. What was NAWIC Montgomery’s strategy for engaging new members in the past year? 

Mostly lots and lots of emails.

2. The NAWIC Montgomery network is extensive. Does the board get ideas on how to improve membership value from other organizations? 

Yes, there are times we look at similar associations and find ways to engage members and participate in events that we may not already be aware of.

3. Do you have any tips/advice to share with other board volunteers? 

Don't give up!  Membership and participation will come in waves.  But be consistent.  

4. How have you been able to utilize StarChapter to run NAWIC Montgomery and reach its goals? 

We have been able to market our chapter better and have a more unified web presence.  Others have been able to find us and engage thanks to the webpage, something we've never had before.  Our emails are more professional and engaging as well.  A great way to keep past and current members up to date on everything going on.
