As I look back on the 35th Consolidated Convention, I’m filled with hope for the future. The Convention gave us an opportunity to reflect on where we’ve been and look at the challenges we have overcome. But even more, it gave us the opportunity to decide where we are going.
When I stood before our delegates, I spoke about a vision for this Brotherhood—a union united in purpose with expanding opportunities for every member. I see our union preparing the next generation of Boilermakers for the next generation of work. That vision did not end when the Convention adjourned.— Oct 1
