CROWN POINT– The Northwest Indiana Influential Women Association (NWIIWA) has announced that Amy Henningfield, Director of Workforce Development for Superior Construction, has joined the organization’s board of directors.
As a member of NWIIWA’s board, Henningfield will support the organization’s mission to recognize, empower, and advance women across the region.
A recognized leader in workforce development, women-in-construction advocacy, and cultural transformation within the heavy civil construction industry, Henningfield brings over 30 years of experience and a passion for empowering others to the NWIIWA board.
“I’m honored to serve on the NWIIWA Board and help champion growth, mentorship, and opportunity for women across Northwest Indiana,” said Henningfield. “When women rise, communities thrive.”
