Women in Leadership Development
(WILD)
The New Jersey State AFL-CIO sponsors the Women in Leadership Development (WILD) Conference to address the broad questions of how unions help women and how women help unions.
The WILD Conference is designed to ensure that union women have every opportunity to be educated, develop leadership skills, and build diversity within the labor movement. Attendees at the annual WILD Conference meet and talk with national and state union leaders, organizers, educators, and authors—all of whom detail the challenges they face as well as their strategies for organizing and advocating for workers.
The New Jersey State AFL-CIO is proud to announce the 19th Annual Women in Leadership Development (WILD) Conference that will take place at the Hilton East Brunswick Hotel & Executive Meeting Center from Friday, March 7 to Saturday, March 8, 2025.
At this year’s conference, we have highly credentialed presenters and speakers who will equip union women with tools to strengthen our core union values, and achieve wellness and balance in 2025. WILD provides a unique opportunity for union sisters to sharpen their leadership skills, and to strategize and network with experts and peers.
