Historic Savannah Foundation’s lecture series, “People, Places and Stories that Define Savannah,”  will feature lectures covering a wide range of speakers and topics. Each lecturer will give a presentation on a subject that falls within the realm of his or her expertise followed by a question-and-answer session.

National Association of Women In Construction (NAWIC) is an international association of women employed in construction which promotes that industry and supports the advancement of women within it. NAWIC’s purpose is to support women in the construction industry through professional development, business opportunity, community outreach and mentoring programs.

Jessica Leavitt’s has enjoyed filling many roles in the local chapter of the National Association of Women In Construction (NAWIC) and has most recently been elected president of the group.

Her background includes fashion design, retail management, sales, operations, social media management, event planning and content creation. Her positive demeanor, entrepreneurial spirit and can-do attitude help with all facets in her current role at Alair Savannah as Chief Culture + Client Officer.
