Another lifetime member - Congratulations Rebecca Hodges

At the recent NAWIC AGM, Rebecca Hodges was awarded a lifetime membership for her service with NAWIC. Her journey started by joining the Canterbury chapter in 2014, then being elected to the role of Chapter Chair in 2017, followed by the bold step up into the role of President-Elect, President, and most recently Immediate Past President.

During her time of service, Rebecca has worked tirelessly on leading our brand evolution, and digital presence, leading NAWIC through some important growth milestones, such as forming the National Council, she has been a generous mentor, encourager, and advocate for NAWICS vision - An equitable construction industry where women fully participate.

"Rebecca has been a highly engaged leader in the construction industry attending and contributing on behalf of NAWIC at industry events, as a guest speaker and on discussion panels.

Within NAWIC she has been a willing traveler to visit NAWIC Chapters around the country, and supported the Waikato, Queenstown, and Wairarapa NAWIC launch events.

Her dedication to NAWIC has seen the organisation thrive with her support of the new Governance policy and NAWIC National Council formation.

She has also been a NAWIC Awards writer and Awards Event Co-presenter, as well as a Judge. This is a time-consuming activity in both the research and writing, PowerPoint and preparing, practising and presenting citations with Stacey Mendonca, for 2022 and 2023.

She is an outstanding role model for our industry." Stacey Mendonça, MNZM,NAWIC Co-Founder, Past President.

“Rebecca has been so generous with her knowledge as she has handed over the reigns and been available for any questions or guidance, she has been a leader and a mentor for me when I first started in this role. I know she has always been available at the end of an email or phone call and I have huge respect for her. She has been a guardian of the brand and has led NAWIC through the growing stages towards becoming a National Council. Rebecca, thank you so much!” Colleen Upton, NAWIC President.
