BAC women members from the US and Canada attended a webinar hosted by North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU) on March 5, in lieu of last year’s canceled Tradeswomen Build Nations Conference (TWBN).

The webinar, “Women Empowerment in Union Construction,” featured opening remarks from NABTU President Sean McGarvey and LeanIn.org Founder Sheryl Sandberg, followed by three panels for attendees to choose from. The recorded webinar can be viewed for free at: https://nabtu.org/twbnwinter-webinar

“Participation in Tradeswomen Build Nations is a milestone for many women in the trades,” said Liliana Calderon, BAC Executive Council and Local 21 IL member. “Union tradeswomen build relationships and learn from shared experiences." The next in-person Tradeswomen Build Nations conference is scheduled for October 28-30 in Las Vegas, NV. More information of the conference can be found at: https://nabtu.org/twbn
