Women’s History Month Profiles: Rebeca Colman

For Women’s History Month, we’re taking a look at a group of leaders who are currently active making women’s history across the labor movement. Check back daily for a new profile and meet some of the people working to improve not only their community, but also to improve conditions for working people across the country. Today’s profile is Rebeca Colman of the Roofers and Waterproofers.

Rebeca Colman is proud to be the first woman elected to her local’s executive board, as well as their first female apprentice instructor. She is also active in the Southern Nevada Building Trades Women’s Committee, where she sat on the board. She continues to take on new positions and is now the lead instructor, where her bilingualism has been particularly helpful for teaching technical skills to apprentices.
