The 2018 WOMEN BUILD NATIONS (WBN) conference is making its way to the West Coast!! This year the conference will be held in Seattle WA! The North America’s Building Trade Unions (NABTU) is pleased to announce our local co-sponsors, ANEW and Washington Build Trades. With this move to the West Coast, we anticipate attendance of 2,000 or more tradeswomen. The conference will be held at the Washington State Convention Center, Seattle WA, October 12 – 14, 2018.

If you attended last year, you know what a tremendous opportunity this is for our region to show case our accomplishments, recognize the contributions and continuing challenges of our hard-working tradeswomen and demonstrate support for their leadership and advancement. We hope you will partner with us to welcome the conference to Seattle and ensure that all tradeswomen in our region benefit from what promises to be the largest ever convening of tradeswomen. 

As always, the goals of the conference are to recruit new women into the industry and support existing tradeswomen with more than 30 workshops and events intended to promote retention and build the knowledge and leadership skills needed to advance on the job in the union.
