Savy's Story

As a union Pipefitter with Local 537, Savy has worked on a range of exciting projects, from a skyscraper in the Seaport to the Ink Block condominiums in the South End, to the Encore Boston Harbor Casino. In recent years, she has had many reasons to celebrate. She recently completed her apprenticeship and secured her license as a pipefitter, purchased her own home, got married the love of her life, and welcomed a daughter, Jorani, into the world, all the while honing her craft.

WICNM is Membership Driven

Membership in WICNM is only $50 per year and leaves no doubt to its value and return on investment. As a member, you receive a membership discount on membership meetings, and are able to attend our networking events at no-charge. Just the networking events only are a $45 face value!

The real value of membership is not monetary though, it's about connecting and belonging to a group of women that understand and take pride in the industry of construction just like you. It's what we all have in common whether you're wearing a hard hat in the field or a suit to the office. If you have a hand in the construction industry, this is where you belong.
