The ITPE conducted its first Shop Steward Educational Conference in Baltimore, MD October 1 & 2, 2011 for Regions I & II, which was a tremendous success. I would like to take this opportunity to commend the Shop Stewards who attended the Conference for their active participation and the respect they showed to the guest speakers and their fellow Shop Stewards. The Union is very proud and appreciative of your hard work and the dedication that you provide to the membership from day to day at your job sites.
Good health and much joy throughout this Holiday Season.

In Solidarity,

Dennis R. Arrington
