This UBC convention was one for the ages and the Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council played a big part. A huge congrats goes to our former EST Gary Perinar, who was elected General Vice President and brought the house down with a rousing speech reminding us that we will always stand tall in the face of adversity. And in a special moment, Perinar’s father, Gary Perinar Sr., was invited to the podium to swear in General President McCarron and the rest of his leadership team.
EST Kevin McLaughlin also delivered strong remarks and was featured in an inspiring video about the UBC’s healthcare and pension plans. President Joel Pogose and Vice President Wade Beasley were recognized for their leadership and took the stage as members of the Rules and Constitution Committees, as were directors from throughout our Regional Council who were asked to serve on other committees including Elections, Resolutions, Finance and more. And a special shoutout to MACRC Business Development Director Tony Janowski, who was featured in a jurisdictional video on the UBC's continued dominance in the solar energy industry.
The convention was an electrifying four days where union pride and solidarity were on full display.
The future belongs to those who build it!
