Mentorship Program
The NAWIC Salt Lake Mentorship Program provides you with a supportive environment to grow your leadership skills, expand your network, and boost your self-confidence. Whether you are a mentor or a mentee, participating in a mentorship program is highly beneficial to your professional and personal growth.
There was a lot of preparation and thought in creating the SLC Mentorship program. The idea for a formal program floated around our chapter for years. Developing the program took 2 years to get up and running. It has been so fun watching it come to fruition for the 2024-2025 year. Being active throughout the process we have experienced 4 of the 5 phases of team development as defined by Scott M. Graffius. Our chapter program has formed, stormed, normed and is now performing! Before we know it, we adjourn with the new pairings in 2025-2026 and continue our cycle of success. Thanks to the creators of the program Tiffany Dazley and Tonya Timothy, with special thanks to Tiffany for being the Committee Chairperson and leading this effort. A Special recognition to the 10 participants that piloted the program; because of your participation, feedback, and actions we have created a sustainable and beneficial program. I look forward to this program growing and becoming a force of resources, support, advocacy and success stories.

Both of us just joined NAWIC in the last year and wanted to get involved, but were unsure of the best way to do this. Independently, when we heard about the mentorship program, we knew it would be a great opportunity to meet new people and be part of a community. We have loved getting to know one another, learning about different parts of the industry (in our case, commercial construction vs. heavy civil and industrial), and making a new friend. We recommend this to anyone who is interested in creating new connections (especially outside of your own company—it’s great having a sounding board!) and who wants to get more involved with NAWIC. It is much easier to get your foot in the door and attend events when you know you have a friend and network to support you.

Katie McGregor & Bethany Power
"As a mentor with NAWIC, I've truly appreciated the opportunity to connect with Jessica. Learning from her, a woman in construction, who is earlier in her career, has been incredibly rewarding. Hearing her perspectives on the industry, her daily work, and the type of support that would help her grow has been both insightful and inspiring. It's a privilege to support her journey and witness her growth in this industry."

Margot Taylor
“Being mentored by Margot through NAWIC has been a game-changer. Her leadership and passion prove that women are not only thriving in construction—we're leading it. I’m more inspired than ever to be part of this movement and help build a stronger future for the next generation of women in the industry.”
