Sound & Communications Report – March 2025

Sisters and Brothers,

I’d like to first recognize and thank Sister Christine Austria-Lozoya for her dedication to our membership, previously serving as an Executive Board member, Organizer, and Business Representative. Though she’s no longer on IBEW staff, she remains committed to being an advocate for IBEW and its members, and I look forward to our continued work together.

I also want to extend my gratitude and congratulations to Eric Brown and Rusty Roten as they approach retirement. Their service to our local and community deserves recognition.

While the work picture remains slow, we are hopeful that work will pick up soon. To prepare for this upcoming work, ensure your certifications and state licenses remain current. Reach out to ETI for upcoming training opportunities, including courses to help members keep vital certifications current, as well as new offerings like Intelligent Network Video and Cisco Certified Network Associate courses.
