WiMI National Conference in Cleveland, OH

Last week, the Mechanical Contractors Association of America (MCAA) put on another fantastic WiMI National Conference in Cleveland, OH, from June 10th to 12th. Representing the DMV were 41 incredible women from various MCAMW Contractors, Plumbers & Gasfitters UA Local 5 and Steamfitters UA Local 602.

Attendees had the opportunity to network with women and allies from across the country, engage in educational sessions with fantastic speakers, roundtable discussions, and a private event at the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame! Some of the session highlights were: “Navigating the Uncomfortable- Building Skills for Difficult” led by Alexander Willis, “Negotiation Essentials- Tips and Tricks for Success” led by Shaabini Alford and an uplifting closing session with Princess Sarah Culberson of Sierra Leone.

If you are a hashtag#WomanInTheMechanicalIndustry and haven’t attended a National WiMI Conference, please mark your calendars for next year (June 9-11) and join this incredible cohort!
