Dear Sisters and Brothers:
In addition to our skills on the job, many among us have other talents that deserve to be spotlighted. As we plan for our 38th International Convention to be held in Vancouver, British Columbia, in September 2011, we want to make 2011 a year to celebrate the many things our members do, leading up to the big event in Canada.
And so we initiated IBEW Has Talent (IHT).
We are searching to find the most talented members in each of our 11 vice presidential districts and have them compete for first place at our convention family gala on Saturday, September 17, 2011. Think of it as a large version of a union picnic that so many of you attend each year, and we will truly make it our own by showcasing homegrown talent.
Details about the contest were published in the December issue of The Electrical Worker which you should have recently received, and is also available on our Web site, ibew.org.
Here are the basics:
We encourage any member to enter the contest. If you believe your talents are best demonstrated every day on the job, help us spread the word to fellow members that might be interested. We look forward to celebrating the many abilities among our membership and showcasing that IBEW Has Talent.
With best wishes, we are
Fraternally yours,
Edwin D. Hill
Lindell K. Lee
International President
International Secretary-Treasurer
