Summary
Results-oriented Local President with demonstrated record of accomplishment in motivating members and increasing membership. I took over as Local President without any previous training or representational experience and hit the ground running. I purchased computers, have brought in new officers and trained new stewards. I spoke to the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations on the lack of leadership by VA ER LR during AFGE Legislative Conference and continue to speak up for all government employees. I am a strong, determined leader who is capable and excited to lead AFGE membership to new heights.
