WOMEN’S COMMITTEE

MISSION STATEMENT

The IATSE Local #476 Women’s Committee exists to provide female members with a support group, within the local, to help them with their career path and goals. While our main focus is making sure female members are getting the support they need, the Women’s Committee is also dedicated to providing all #476 members with educational, networking and outreach opportunities. The success of our Union, our workplace, and our community at large depend on members getting involved and helping each other grow.
