This unique event is sponsored by the University of Minnesota Labor Education Service in coordination with a group of women from a variety of unions across Minnesota. It will be held April 22 to 24 at Ruttger's Bay Lake Lodge near Brainerd.
Participants will learn skills for organizing, mobilizing and building union power. The retreat will also be a venue for women at all experience levels to share what they know and mentor new leaders.
The April program builds on the success of the half-day union women's leadership gathering held in July in St. Paul.
Cost is $335 (double occupancy) or $399 (single) and includes the conference fee, materials, lodging for two nights and all meals and breaks. The deadline to register is March 9.
