Womens Committee – IATSE, The Union Behind Entertainment

International Woman’s Committee Mission Statement

The IATSE Women’s Committee provides networking and mentorship opportunities for all women of the IATSE, recognizing that IATSE sisters come in all shapes, colors, and identities, with their own unique stories. We promote education & training, activism & community engagement. We endeavor to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome to celebrate the unlimited potential of IATSE women, to support strength and success in our Union, in our workplaces, our families and in our communities at large. Welcome!

The Committee encourages the use of #IATSEWomenUP when posting on social media.

The Committee is represented by an Executive Committee which over sees the Steering Committees and the Reginal Network Teams across the US and Canada. The Reginal Network Teams carry out the work of the overall Committees and connect with women throughout the Alliance. For contact information on the Regional Network Team most appropriate please see the attached list.

Steering Committees

Event Planning : coordinates all logistics, guest speakers, or other activities to take place at the twice a year General Executive Board (GEB) Meetings. May be involved in other networking opportunities that may arise.

Communication : works to coordinate information across the Districts and local unions. Including the quarterly Bulletin articles.

Activism : focuses on identifying issues that can provide opportunities for women to become fully engaged in their locals and their communities. These may include work and family issues, women’s health initiatives, political activities, and education. May also provide resources for educational opportunities in the larger union community.

Committees and Teams meet both in person and virtually throughout the year.  If you are interested in working on a particular committee or Team, please email iatsewomen@iatse.net or reach out the Regional Team most appropriate.
