| DALMC TO HOST A MEET AND GREET EVENT |
River Lights Book Store, 2nd Edition
1098 Main Street, Dubuque, IA 52001
Saturday, March 12, 2011 12 p.m. - 2 p.m. |

|
| The Dubuque Area Labor-Management Council has created an activity book
showcasing women working in non-traditional careers. The development and
printing of the book was paid for by a grant from the Dubuque Racing Association.
"Women at Work" features four Dubuque women that work in non-traditional
careers including a welder, plumber, CNC operator and engineer. |
|
| The Dubuque Area Labor Management Council has established a "Women in
Non-traditional Careers" (WINC) committee with a focus on designing and
delivering educational programs for women and girls aimed at increasing their
knowledge of career opportunities in the skilled trades, technology, operations
and manufacturing occupations. |
|
| The idea for creating an activity book came after the Council tried to purchase a
book showcasing women in non-traditional careers and could not find one on the
market. "So, we decided to create our own", according to DALMC Program
Specialist, Megan Starr, "By showcasing actual women working in the Dubuque
area we hope to demonstrate that it is not only acceptable but also exciting,
challenging and rewarding to take on non-traditional roles in the workplace. We
plan to work closely with the Dubuque Community Schools, local Girl Scout
troops and 4-H clubs to implement this educational program". |
|
| Women featured in the book will be at River Lights Book Store to sign copies and answer questions. |
