Sisters of Iron Committee Mission

We are a recognized committee for Local 29. We organize meetings and events to develop trade, life, social and problem solving skills to assist women with the completion of the apprenticeship program and move into positions of leadership.

We promise we will uphold:

• Safety:  Safe place to speak.
• Inclusion: Value diversity and different perspectives.
• Solidarity: Respect and support sisters AND brothers by listening and educating on the importance for this committee and population growth of women and minorities in our Local.
• Equity: Provide support & opportunities to lift up and empower.
• Privacy: What personal information and details are shared here, stays here.
• Positivity: Search for solutions and conflict resolution.
• Professionalism: Treat brothers and sisters with respect; the way we wish to be treated. 
• Education: Mentoring and modules around skill development.
• Outreach, Education, recruitment: Participate in fundraisers and outreach opportunities to improve and increase women and minority membership.
• Discourse/conflicts: To the best of our ability, we will take moments of discrimination, harassment, disregard, disrespect or being treated differently on account of our gender, as opportunities to educate on our mission and methods of maintaining solidarity and growing our memberships to benefit all IW’s.
