L.U. 915 (i&mt), TAMPA, FL — Greetings, brothers and sisters. Business Manager Randall King is pleased to announce that Sister Tabitha Hunter has been selected to represent the Fifth District on the IBEW’s International Women’s Committee. Brother King is confident that she will continue the tradition of Local 915 sisters leading the way for the IBEW and the Fifth District. We wish her continued success in her new role.
Business Manager King led a delegation from the Florida Gulf Coast Building & Construction Trades Council to meet with Mayor Ken Welch of St. Petersburg, Fla. The meeting was highly productive. Mayor Welch committed to using registered apprentices on all phases of construction of the new Rays stadium and the Historic Gas Plant Redevelopment Project.
Local 915 Women’s Committee and RENEW had a booth at the St. Pete Pride Grand Central Street Fair on July 23. It was a great outreach event. More than 50 St. Pete residents expressed interest in joining the IBEW or becoming an apprentice. The typical Florida afternoon thunderstorm didn’t deter our brothers and sisters from enjoying their time at the fair.
