Brother Wagoner, 30-year member of the IAM and retired director of the Winpisinger Center, believed that expanding opportunities for Leadership training was critical to our future growth and strength as a Union. The Grant provides financial support for locals that want to send current and emerging leaders to Leadership training but lack the resources to do so. Deadline is January 31, 2025. Link in comments.
