The success of the chapter is determined by:

1. Member involvement and participation
2. Educating the community about NAWIC
3. Promoting work force development (programs engaging children/adults in Construction Industry career path opportunities)
4. Programs, topics, speakers, seminars, community involvement projects must be of interest to the members
5. Members need to have a voice in determining their areas of interest to get the members engaged

        o Annually discuss topics, programs, community involvement, short-term & long-term goals of the chapter, etc.
        o Do an on-line survey
        o Have a suggestion box at the membership meetings

The purpose of "Construction Profession Education" is to provide construction related programs to members and guests in order to educate them about different areas of the construction industry, to promote professional and personal growth, and educate the community about NAWIC and the construction industry.
CPE is the “meat and potatoes” for promoting the value of NAWIC membership. Through professional, educational, and business opportunities, NAWIC “enhances the success of women in the construction industry” by fulfilling our core purpose.

CPE is a “Standing Committee" and is established as follows:

• Chair – appointed by the Chapter President (or filled by a volunteer)
• Committee members – small group of volunteers to aid the chair in fulfilling the purpose of the committee

            o Review Ideas for programs/projects
            o Contact speakers and obtain commitments
            o Follow-up and confirm engagements/projects
            o Evaluate success of program or event
            o Communicate outcome to regional chair
