January Spotlight - Chapter President, Kira Caffee
Kira is currently working with Holland Partners Group as an Associate Project Manager. One of Kira's favorite aspects of her job is "working as part of a project team and being able to see all the hard work we do behind the scenes to make the projects run actually then get built and see how happy our end users are with the building and spaces." A good lead for Kira would be information on any commercial, retail or multi-family projects or contractors.
Kira had an idea that she'd want to be a part of the construction industry early in her career, she attended CSU in Fort Collins and Majored in Interior Design with a minor in Construction Management. After taking a few construction management classes she'd found her calling and began immediately working in the industry.
As a NAWIC member for the last 4 years she has been quite busy. In that time she has held the position of Secretary, Vice President and now President and has "loved every minute of it!" One of her favorite things about NAWIC is all of the great women that she has the opportunity to meet through the organization. The comraderie of the group is what she really looks forward to as well as the amazing capabilities of what our members can accomplish when they unite and the way that everyone works together to help a member in need.
When asked who her biggest inspiration in life has been she said that it was hard to single just one person out. Her parents helped her to develop great qualities like being confident and goal driven while some very close friends have helped to inspire her to always dream bid and achieve whatever goals she's set for herself.

Do you ever dance even if there is no music playing? Absolutely! I always throw on a pair of heels and dance while I vacuum the house. It makes the chore of cleaning WAY more fun
