Sisters In The Brotherhood
"It changes your whole outlook on life knowing that you're doing something for yourself."
Sisters in the Brotherhood (SIB) provides guidance and assistance in developing the tools that the St. Louis - Kansas City Carpenters Regional Council needs to recruit and retain women in our union.
SIB provides - and encourages our sisters to pursue - leadership opportunities within their locals and the Regional Council.
Among the SIB committee's goals is to develop and initiate methods for having women ready and able to enter the workforce and to mentor our sisters in becoming strong and participating union members.
