Recently, Melissa accepted a promotion with the Capital Development Board that placed her outside of the Union in a management position. As a result, she resigned her duties as Steward and Assistant Chief Steward for Local 1019 effective March 31, 2026. While we are excited to congratulate Melissa on this well-earned promotion, we are also saddened to see her leave. Her dedication and leadership have made a lasting impact on our Local, and her work has strengthened our Union in meaningful ways. Congratulations Melissa!!!
