The CTA’s Women’s Leadership Conference will provide an uplifting, supportive, and empowering environment for participants. Our inaugural conference is designed with both flow and function in mind to address the current needs of women in leadership.

The conference will include themes of Empowerment and Confidence, Networking and Mentorship and Wellness and Sustainability. The goal is for attendees to leave the conference with a renewed sense of purpose, equipped with new tools and resources, and connected to a growing network of women who are committed to leading in union advocacy.

If you have any questions, please email the conference staff at womensconference@cta.org.
