Springfield was recently the host city for the annual lobby day event organized by Tradeswomen. This gathering, which took place last week at the State Capitol, served as an excellent platform for individuals to gain insights into the trades and establish connections with union representatives. The focus of these interactions was primarily on exploring the numerous opportunities available for women in the construction industry.

One of the highlights of this event was a discussion about women's potential in the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades (IUPAT). It was emphasized that there are no limitations to what women can achieve in this trade.

The event concluded with a rallying call - #WomenWorking, encapsulating its spirit and purpose.
