New Logo Decided! Logo #1 is our winner!

Thank you to all the members who voted on a new logo for BAC Local 23.

We’re excited to start moving this logo out to all members on stickers, buttons, shirts and more.

We are excited because our new logo respects our past and the locals that have come together to form Local 23. It also represents our future as we work to become stronger together and ensure our members thrive as bricklayers and craftworkers.

Stay tuned. We will be announcing the winners of the raffle in the coming weeks.

The 15th National Tradeswomen Build Nations (TWBN) Conference will be held the weekend of September 19-21, at the McCormick Place in Chicago, IL.

The conference will feature plenary sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities geared towards empowering tradeswomen. The International Union is a proud sponsor of TWBN’s mission to support women in our industry, promote the recruitment and retention of women, and to help nurture leadership opportunities for women – on the job and in our unions.

The International Union and Local 23 will reimburse all costs for your travel, hotel (up to 2 nights booking in the designated Local 23 block), and registration fees — plus provide a $400 stipend after the event.

We hope you take advantage of this opportunity to meet with and have dialogue with other women in the trades and learn more about our union and trade.

Book your hotel room in the designated Local 23 block here -> https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/group-booking/CHIMC/G-NABW

Sign up and register for the event here -> https://tradesfutures.org/initiatives/tradeswomen-build-nations/

We strongly suggest that if you plan to attend, you book your hotel using the designated block. If you book other accommodations, you will not be reimbursed for your hotel stay.
