The Women’s and Fair Practices Departments won’t let COVID-19 stop us from uplifting our members and empowering through education and community! In lieu of an in-person diversity week training, we are proudly presenting all AFGE members with a series of virtual trainings which will provide participants with the knowledge and power needed to become stronger advocates for their fellow union siblings.

Whether you’re interested in how to uplift women in the workplace, want to learn how to be a better coordinator or organizer, learn how to be active beyond the workplace, or want to learn about EEO protections in the workplace — we have a training for you! Below is an overview of our virtual trainings which will replace this year’s in-person conference. Included below are the registration links and event descriptions.

Virtual Sister's Keeper Training (July 31st – August 2nd): The Virtual Sister's Keeper Summit will be a safe place for women to address the issues faced in their workplace, communities and union. The Sister's Keeper Summit is a women-only space. Women identifying participants will be provided with insights on how to lift up their own voice and the voices of their colleagues in their communities and workplaces. Click here to register.
