Councilmember Katherine Gilmore Richardson is honoring FTI-MAR Recruitment Coordinator Tureka Dixon as part of the City of Philadelphia’s Women’s History Month Celebration.
Tureka is a decorated AGMT-certified union glazier and also received her bachelor’s degree in construction management from National Labor College through the Finishing Trades Institute. She received the North American Building Trades Union Tradeswomen Heroes Award in March 2021.
She currently works with our union as a Recruitment Coordinator and serves on the steering committee of WINC (Women in Non-traditional Careers). We appreciate all the hard work Tureka has put into our union and our industry, and we are proud to see the city recognizing her role as a trailblazer.
“You’re able to take care of your family, take care of yourself,” she said. “It’s not a job. It’s a career.”
