Autumn Pipefitter Apprentice Represented Local 597 at Tradeswomen Build Nations 2025

Autumn Construction Services is proud to share that Pipefitter Apprentice Annelis Presely was selected to participate in the 2025 Tradeswomen Build Nations (TWBN) Conference on behalf of Chicago Pipefitters Local Union 597.

The conference was hosted in Chicago, September 19–21, 2025, marking the sixth year that Local Union 597 participated in this nationwide event, which has continued to grow in size and impact each year.

Tradeswomen Build Nations, the largest gathering of women in the building trades, brought together union members and allies from across the country. Sponsored by the North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU), the conference welcomed participants from unions affiliated with NABTU, local building and construction trades councils, and NABTU allies.

We congratulate Annelis on representing both Local 597 and Autumn Construction Services at such a significant national event. Her participation demonstrated our commitment to supporting the next generation of skilled tradespeople and celebrating the contributions of women in construction.
