The Advanced Women's Leadership Program is designed for members who have completed the Women's Leadership Program and are ready to take the next step in their leadership journey. Participants will build on prior learning while further developing critical skills in leadership development, organizing, parliamentary procedure, political and legislative involvement, strategic planning, and network building.
Women's Leadership Programs equip IAM sisters with the tools and confidence needed to lead effectively at every level of the union and to strengthen solidarity across our membership.
