Trailblazers, Mentors & Heavy Hitters! Houston was filled with some incredible people, and I was lucky enough to meet, reconnect with, and learn from some of the BEST in the industry! Here are some of the few that I met at the TWBN Conference. 📷 1: The extreme honour of introducing Sean McGarvey, President of NABTU, at TWBN! 📷 2: Went full fangirl seeing Raymond Boyd, Director of Education and Training with the UA! What an incredible speaker! 📷 3 & 4: Melissa Wells and Betsy Barrett of NABTU. Two inspiring UA Sisters who have shattered glass ceilings and shown just how far the trades can take you! 📷 5: Marsha Ivins, NASA astronaut and aerospace engineer. FIVE trips to space! Talk about reaching for the stars! 📷 6: Judaline Cassidy, UA Local 1 Sister and founder of Tools & Tiaras. A TRUE trailblazer! 📷 7: Chelsea Fenton, LiUNA Local 596 Sister, making waves on social media and in PEOPLE Magazine! 📷 8: Abbi Donovan, IUPAT Local 14 Sister, aka @that_paintergirl. Her hilarious and relatable reels are GOLD! 📷 9: Alanna Marklund, Special Representative of UA Canada.

We didn't meet at this year's TWBN, but back in 2024 in New Orleans when she and her Sister Suvenne stopped me at the airport. Boy, am I ever glad they did! Shmyla, thank you for being the incredible person you are, for everything you do within the UA and beyond, and most importantly, for being such an amazing friend. So grateful our paths crossed! Different journeys, same mission: breaking barriers, lifting others up, and paving the way for the next generation! Feeling incredibly inspired and grateful for the people this industry has brought into my life! #TWBN #TradeswomenBuildNations #NABTU #WomenInTrades #UnionStrong

"My job as a person, as a citizen, is to educate the next generation of girls and boys to pick up a tool and learn the trade..." We had a great time catching up with Judaline Cassidy (@judaline6) before she participated in a panel discussion on 'Leading the Trades' during @nexstar_network's #SuperMeeting2026 last week! Check out some of the great work @tools_n_tiaras is doing for the skilled trades through the link in our bio. #SkilledTrades

Eighteen years ago, we launched a modest PR campaign for skilled labor. Since then, we’ve awarded $22.5 million in work ethic scholarships to more than 3,300 people pursuing careers in the skilled trades. Behind those numbers are the people learning a skill, building a career, and doing the work we all depend on everyday—these are the people we think you should know. We couldn’t do it without the help of supporters along the way. Many thanks to all of you who have been with us since day one and those helping us today! We couldn’t do it without you. Enjoy this blast from the past with @mikerowe and share it with your favorite tradesmen! @buildfreedomus @wellsfargo Fisher Global Foundation Ferguson Cares @puretalk @jk_trash_removal @foldsofhonor Berens Foundation @google @montanaknifecompany Software Engineering of America @fordphilanthropy #theblackrockfoundation James & Shirley Rippey Family Foundation @lockheedmartin Hearst Foundations Suffolk Care Charitable Foundation @turbine_x @aligneddc @coign.card Grady Family Foundation @paulmitchell

Today is the third Friday of September, also known as National Tradesmen Day. To celebrate, a young and cheeky editor at @mikeroweworks has assembled a video to remind the world about what I looked like 18 years ago, back when I boldly proclaimed my intention to reinvigorate the skilled trades with some sort of ad hoc PR initiative. Looking back, I think you’ll agree my performance – delivered after several beers on Labor Day of 2008 - was a fairly cringeworthy spasm of uncharacteristic earnestness. It was, however, well-intended, and useful I think, in rallying others who shared my sentiment. In fact, a few years later in 2011, when Irwin Tools decided to launch National Tradesmen Day, they called upon me to announce the occasion, which I was delighted to do. In return, Irwin donated $10,000 to my newly formed foundation, which I used to help fund our first round of work ethic scholarships. Since then, lots of other likeminded companies and organizations have asked me to help them launch similar efforts to reinvigorate the trades, including the latest initiative from the Pentagon called @buildfreedomus I agreed, and in return, Build Freedom has donated $10 million dollars to mikeroweWORKS, which we’ll spend on the next round of work ethic scholarships. And so, we appear to be trending in the right direction. Anyway, enjoy this genuine blast from my past, and hopefully, an accurate look into the future. Better yet, share it with it someone in the trades, and help us commemorate National Tradesman Day by reminding the country that many excellent opportunities in the skilled trades are waiting to be filled, and that mikeroweWORKS is here to pay for the training you need to get started. Apply today #linkinbio Carry on.

Got to share the stage with John C. Maxwell as the moderator today with Nexstar Networks and explore the trades talking about the trades. One of those moments I won’t forget. On stage John told me I had a great voice for speaking. Coming from him, I’ll take that one. 😂 #SkilledTrades #Leadership #JohnCMaxwell

One year ago today, we celebrated @ualocal1 plumber Judaline Cassidy @judaline6 founder of @tools_n_tiaras and a true trailblazer in the trades. Her passion for the trades and commitment to lifting up the next generation continue to show why unions and skilled trades matter. A great moment from last year’s Labor Day Parade and one worth looking back on. #unionstrong #ulanetwork #union #skilledtrades #nextgeneration
