IFPTE Hosts Spring Veterans Committee Meeting

IFPTE held its biannual Veterans Committee meeting virtually on Thursday, April 3.  The meeting, led by John Mader, ESC/IFPTE Local 20 and Executive Vice President, who also serves as Veterans Committee chairman, was attended by IFPTE-member Veterans from seven IFPTE Locals, IFPTE members who are not Veterans, and IFPTE officers and staff. 

Among the highlights of the meeting was a presentation by AFL-CIO Union Veterans Council Executive Director Will Attig, as well as a detailed legislative discussion from Legislative Director Faraz Khan outlining IFPTE’s legislative priorities for Veterans.  IFPTE’s next Veterans Committee meeting will be in November.  Veterans Committee membership is open to any IFPTE Veteran or IFPTE members wishing to work to move IFPTE’s pro-Veteran agenda forward.
