A Gathering of Women in the Construction Industry

Connecting East Coast and West Coast

Sunday April 10^th

1:00 pm to 4 pm

Lunch, Speakers & Discussions

International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local #103,

256 Freeport St # 1, Boston, MA 02122

All organizations that support women in the industry are welcomed to be part of this, to attend, to speak and share, and join in. All women in the industry are welcomed. It matters not if you work with tools or a computer.

That story of the dismal progress of women in the industry, and our effort to connect the women in the industry, their organizations, and supporters, across the continent and as far around the world as we can reach, made the ENR Newsmaker award list. Combined with the fact that the US Department of Labor has said they will finally, this summer, address the 30 year old language of "good faith effort," and the announcement that the National Building Trades will support and sponsor the first "Women Build the Nation" conference, April 29th – May 1st, makes this a historic year, watched by women in the industry around the world.

We would like to connect to our East Cost Sisters, to know their issues, solutions, ideas, problems, projects, passions and hopes, so that we may share them with all.

Each org will be asked to speak from 5 to 10 minutes, who they are, what they do, what they would like to do and or see happen, what they need help with, what they have to offer, how you can get involved etc. All are welcome to bring information, news, flyers, business cards, resumes', CD's of photos or videos of women on the jobsite to donate.

A Joint Effort of….The Sisters in the Building Trades, The National Association of Women in Construction New Hampshire Chapter, The National Association of Women in Construction Rhode Island Chapter, IUPAT DC#35, WILD Women's Institute for Leadership Development, Massachusetts Jobs with Justice, Coalition of Labor Union Women, Massachusetts Tradeswomen Association ……

Please pass this notice to any and all in the area…..

We would like to reach every tradeswoman in the area, to extend a welcome.
