CONFERENCE: THE FUTURE OF WOMEN

IN THE TRADES

On May 28-30, the San Francisco/Bay Ares chapter of Tradeswomen, Inc. will host the first National Tradeswomen Con- ference. It is of paramount importance that this conference include the ideas, energy, and spirit of women of color who must often struggle against greater odds to achieve full participation and ad- vancement in the trades. If you are con- cerned about racism and sexism, and is- sues unique to women of color, then there is still time to lend your support to help make this a worthwhile event. Tradeswomen, Inc. is presently looking for women who can offer their assistance in any of the following areas: organiz- ing and/or leading workshops, ideas on new workshops, publicity, mailing, the planning committee, transportation, and housing. For further information, please contact: Naomi Friedman (415) 482-5183 or Dorian Morena (415) 834-3268 (women of color). Or write: Tradeswomen, Inc. P.0. Box 40664, San Francisco, CA 94140.
