When Women Lead
Back at the start of June, I was fortunate enough to be the official photographer for the “Stronger Together” Women’s Conference, expertly put on by the California State Building & Construction Trades Council and the California Federation of Labor.
Former California State Building & Construction Trades Council President Andrew Meredith (left) and California Federation of Labor Executive Secretary Lorena Gonzalez electrified the crowd on the opening day.
For me it was an incredible opportunity to document the incredible strength and leadership that women are building within organized labor. It was also an opportunity to exhibit my ongoing project “Woment At Work” to a wider audience.
The “Electricians Breakfast” — there were so many IBEW members in attendance - they had their own room for breakfast on Sunday.
Vision Boards!
…an opportunity made even more special by the attendance of many of the women featured in the project. Hopefully many other attendees will be open to participating in the project in the near future.
And as was so rightly pointed out throughout the weekend… “When Women Lead… Sh!t gets done!”
