Registration Underway for CWA National Women's Conference

The CWA National Women’s Conference, featuring a unique mix of presentations to learn from the past and plan for the future, is scheduled Aug. 21-23 at Chicago’s Drake Hotel.

CWA Executive Vice President Annie Hill said the conference will “be packed with energetic speakers, interactive presentations and workshops that both teach and motivate participation in the current struggles women face.”

Hill said women have a historic role in union organizing and once again can be the “spark for change.”

“One hundred years ago, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, a disaster that claimed the lives of young women and immigrants, led to an explosion of changes in safety regulations and union organizing,” she said. “Today, women are disproportionately affected by an anti-worker, anti-union assault in the United States.  We can help change this course of action.”

Cost to register is $150. To take advantage of the hotel’s $169/night group rate, reserve a room by July 30. Click here to register and learn more.
