MISSION STATEMENT
The goal of the Sisters in the Brotherhood is to create a network of active members that provides avenues for women to eliminate barriers to their success and to promote and increase in the number and diversity of women in the UBC. We advocate for member involvement to strengthen the union and for the unity and retention of all members.

WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
The Atlantic Canada Sisters in the Brotherhood is a committee of female members within the Atlantic Canada Regional Council. We strive to eliminate barriers to success and promote an increase in the number and diversity of women in the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, Millwrights and Allied Workers (UBC). From delivering high-quality performance to supporting Union causes, Sisters in the Brotherhood make contributions that help build a better trade and a stronger UBC.

• Member Involvement: We attend Union meetings and many of us serve as Local Union officers and Council delegates, offering input on issues that affect women, men, and the UBC.
• Community Involvement: We volunteer and support community activities as a way to promote a positive image of the Union, the UBC, and Union workers.
• Political Action: We serve on political action committees and support UBC positions at rallies and campaign events.
• Recruiting Members: We help organize workers, recruit members, and provide input on the establishment of apprentice programs.
• Mentoring Members: We provide new members with guidance on ways to succeed on the job and with advice on how to become valued UBC members.
