We want to give a huge thank you to Amber Armour for all of her hard work, dedication, and support of the Women’s Committee. We appreciate everything she has contributed and look forward to continuing to work alongside her as a committee member.

With Amber stepping down from her officer role, the Sergeant-at-Arms position is now open. The Sergeant-at-Arms serves under the direction of the President, assists in maintaining order during meetings, and carries out duties as outlined by the committee and Local leadership.

🚨Please reach out if you are interested. 🚨

Thank you again, Amber, for everything you’ve done for our sisters and our committee! 💙⚡️💛

The IBEW stands against bullying and sexual harassment.

It’s about more than just the job, it’s about supporting workers, building stronger communities, mentoring the next generation, and standing up for human and workers’ rights.

Unions are strongest when we lift each other up on and off the job site. ⚡💙✊

We all have the power to make a difference. Stay engaged, look out for one another, and be the change you want to see.

Make room for the next generation of women builders. We love what the team at Move Over Bob is doing to introduce young women to careers in construction, engineering, and the trades.

By replacing outdated stereotypes with real life role models and unfiltered experiences on the job site, they are helping girls realize their true capability.

Want to support the movement or get a copy for a future builder? Head over to Move Over Bob Shop to browse their digital zines and magazine issues. Let’s build something great! 👷🏿‍♀️👷‍♀️👷🏾‍♀️👷🏻‍♀️👷🏽‍♀️👷🏼‍♀️ 👷🏿‍♀️👷‍♀️👷🏾‍♀️👷🏻‍♀️👷🏽‍♀️👷🏼‍♀️
