The Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) and the North Central Labour Council (NCLC) is hosting a Women in Leadership course in Prince George. The course will take place from June 4 to June 7, beginning at 9:00 AM at the BCGEU Office, located at 1070 4th Avenue, Prince George, BC.
Traditionally, Women in Leadership is offered at the CLC Pacific Region Winter School. However, due to its popularity, the CLC has partnered with the NCLC to offer a session in the North. They hope that by doing so, it will remove possible barriers and provide an opportunity for those who are otherwise unable to attend the course in Harrison Hot Springs.
This course offers union women an opportunity to develop and enhance their leadership skills and knowledge in a variety of current and emerging labour issues. Some of components of the course will cover communication, motivational, and public speaking skills that are important for women activists. Participants will explore ways of building on these skills and drawing on their experiences as they advance along the path to leadership and consider running for an elected position or supporting others who run. Whether you’re thinking of leadership within your union, your community, or in politics, this course is for you.
There are 24 spots available for Affiliates and their members. The cost for registration is $300 per person, which includes lunch. Participants are required to obtain permission from their respective Affiliate (PSAC) prior to registering.
