Summer School For Union Women Sponsorships Available

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

The Berger-Marks Foundation will sponsor four emerging union women activists to attend the 2011 UALE Northeast Regional Summer School for Union Women. The sponsorship -- covering registration and some travel costs -- is part of the foundation’s “commitment to encourage the next generation of union women activists.” The sponsorship is focused on young women who are just starting their careers in the US labor movement. The 36th annual UALE Northeast Regional Summer School for Union Women -- scheduled for July 17 to July 22 – is a five-day residential program bringing together union women who are rank-and-file members, staff, and officers to strengthen their knowledge and understanding of the American labor movement.
