Business Manager, Greg Chastain approached the Local 2 Women\u2019s Committee for ideas of how Local 2 could reach a more diverse group in recruitment. The Women\u2019s Committee immediate thought of Pride month. Every June, Kansas City hosts a Pride parade and celebration. This is where they felt they could reach every gender, age group, and demographic. Local 2 supported the Women\u2019s Committees suggestion by reserving two booths at the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Women\u2019s Committee set up monitors with slideshows showing various scopes of the sheet metal and the slides also highlighted beautiful projects that have been made a staple of their city skyline.&nbsp; The booth showcased multiple duct fittings and school projects on the tables. They also had recruitment materials including pamphlets about the apprenticeship and benefits. The number one attraction at the booth was the virtual welder. All age groups and experience levels were able to show their welding abilities. It was a great attention grabber at the event.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smart-union.org\/smart-women\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/12\/image_50802177-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1095\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.smart-union.org\/smart-women\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/12\/image_50802177-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.smart-union.org\/smart-women\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/12\/image_50802177.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Women\u2019s Committee and Local 2 volunteers handed out swag and union information to over 2,500&nbsp; people. Several teachers and school counselors visited the booth.
