Teamsters Local 2010 Women’s Committee Mission Statement
Empowerment is a motivating force in equality!
The mission of the Women’s Committee is to strengthen positive representation of women in our Local by providing assistance through education and involvement.
We are women united to inspire, encourage, and empower women in Teamsters Local 2010. We are women coming together to share and respect one another’s strengths and ideas. We are committed to working together, to listen more, to learn more, and to do more to promote a culture in which everyone feels that they belong, are respected, and are valued within our Local and in the workplace.
Our goal is to organize and participate in cultural, social, civic, and educational training opportunities and activities that promote the committee’s mission. This may include establishing and administering a member assistance fund and support of bona fide charitable organizations. All Teamsters women and men are welcome to participate in our training workshops, seminars, fundraising, and scholarship opportunities.
