Jennifer Lindsey Elected to NAWIC Dallas Chapter's Board of Directors
KRCL is pleased to announce that on June 21, 2011, the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) elected Jennifer R. Lindsey to the Dallas Chapter's Board of Directors.
The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) originally began as Women in Construction of Fort Worth, Texas. It was founded in 1953 by 16 women working in the construction industry.
Knowing that women represented only a small fraction of the construction industry, the founders organized NAWIC to create a support network. Women in Construction of Fort Worth was so successful that it gained its national charter in 1955 and became the National Association of Women in Construction. NAWIC has a membership of more than 4,500 and approximately 167 chapters, with chapters in almost every U.S. state. Since 1996, NAWIC has seen its Core Purpose grow worldwide and has International Affiliation Agreements with the Canadian Association of Women in Construction, NAWIC-Australia, NAWIC-New Zealand, NAWIC-United Kingdom and South African Women in Construction. In NAWIC’s 55 years of service to its membership, NAWIC has advanced the causes of all women in construction, from tradeswomen to business owners.
Jennifer Lindsey, one of KRCL's construction litigation attorneys, has been a member of NAWIC for one year and is a member of the Construction Sections of the Dallas Bar and Texas State Bar Associations. She has substantial experience in state and federal courts representing clients in commercial, construction, products liability and tort litigation. She also represents and assists clients in contract preparation, review, interpretation and negotiation. She routinely works with owners, developers, general contractors, architects, engineers, subcontractors, and property inspectors in the areas of contract and payment disputes and construction defects.
