The CBTU National Women's Committee conducts conferences and workshops that focus on the needs of African American women in the trade union movement. The committee's major event is sponsoring the National Women's Conference, which is held annually in conjunction with CBTU's national convention. The CBTU Women's Conference is an uplifting, healing and empowering experience. The popularity of the women's conference has made it an integral part of the national CBTU convention. The Annual Awards Luncheon pays tribute to women who have made a difference in their chapters, unions or communities.
Chapters recognize members who have faithfully served the women's committee.
The names and accomplishments of those women who have retired are added to the Trail Blazers roster. The women s committee presents the prestigious Addie L. Wyatt Award to a deserving activist. Rev. Addie Wyatt was the first chair of the National Women s Committee, and she continues to serve as co-chair as well as the inspirational and spiritual leader of the committee. Her leadership has been instrumental to our success. Members on the women's committee are added by regional election or appointment by the CBTU Executive Council.
