Wednesday, September 19, 2012
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)After three years of leading the AFL-CIO’s Governance, Organizational and
Leadership Development team, Kathy Casavant (at right) leaving the
AFL-CIO to become the Executive Director of the Women’s Institute for
Leadership Development (WILD) in Boston. “Her prior experience as a union
leader and a state-federation officer was invaluable in the work done with State
Federations, Area and Central Labor Councils,” said Geri Prado, Deputy
Director of the AFL-CIO Campaigns Department. “Her insight and steady hand
helped to continue the important work of the AFL-CIO. We are sad to see
her go but are heartened to know she will be continuing the important work of
developing the relationships necessary between labor and community to organize,
support and train women in the community and in their unions.” Casavant can be
