About Us

The Association of Women Contractors is driven by just one goal – to empower women business owners and service providers. Since its inception in 1995, the AWC has grown into a diverse community of more than 200 professionals working on some of the biggest commercial, residential and transportation projects in the state of Minnesota.

What differentiates the AWC from any other construction associations? The willingness of its members to lend a helping hand. Teamwork and collaboration are at the core of everything we do.

Which is why our members can always trust each other for professional guidance and assistance even in the toughest of crises. To learn more about membership with AWC, visit our Membership Page.
