The National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) has become the new sponsor for Australia’s top female rugby league players.
NAWIC has confirmed its sponsorship of the Jillaroos rugby league team, which heads to the UK in July to compete in Rugby League’s 2013 ‘Festival of World Cups’.
“We are thrilled to be supporting the Jillaroos in 2013,” said NAWIC’s Chief Executive Officer, Sheryle Moon.
“NAWIC is committed to furthering the career opportunities for women in a male- dominated industry, and the opportunity to sponsor the Jillaroos was a natural fit for us,” she added.
The 2013 Jillaroos squad includes a number of well-known names, including Jess Palmer, daughter of trainer Ronnie Palmer, and Ruan Sims, elder sister of Korbin, Ashton and Tariq Sims.
“Teamwork and fellowship are at the heart of both the Jillaroos and NAWIC. Both are striving to achieve world-class outcomes – whether that’s on the football field or on Australia’s construction sites. I look forward to cheering the Jillaroos to victory at the World Cup,” said Senator Kate Lundy, federal Minister for Sport and Patron of NAWIC.
