UBC Women's Conference to give Women Carpenters a Voice in 2010

March 9, 2010 - PRLog -- Members of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters are gathering at the International Training Center in Las Vegas, Nevada June 17 - 20, 2010.  All women carpenters are urged to request sponsorship from their local unions to attend. The last day to register is April 30, 2010.

This conference is a siren call for women to get more involved in their local union. Conference workshops will include strategies to increase women's voices in local and national politics.  It will be the third conference for women carpenters organized by the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, in effort  to organize, educate, and provide Union Leadership Workshops to Sister Members. It is critical that women carpenters attend to have an impact on the future of women in the union, and to put forth recommendations to the United Brotherhood of Carpenters International Convention scheduled for later this year.
