Big Week

I have had a big week and I apologize for my lack of posts.

Last month I attended and briefly spoke at the IAM local 1005 meeting. Joan Miller, IAM rep to the ORARA board, secured us a speaking position at the next Eboard meeting. Ron Rogers, Treasurer of ORARA, and I went a presented affiliation papers to the group. The Board approved and sent it to the membership for a vote. On Saturday the membership unanimously approved affiliation to the ORARA. I am very excited to add this affiliate to the ORARA. It is my first and the ORARA's first in two years.

After news of the affiliation reached the rest of the board, information on other affiliates started flying in from them. Its looking to be a great organizing summer for the ORARA, giving us an even bigger voice for our issues headed into November.
