Our Local 706 members will once again be choosing our own elected Officers and Board members this year to guide our Guild forward for the next three-year term. Take the time now to review our Local 706 Constitution regard- ing the election procedures … and please consider investing time in helping strengthen our union by becoming more active in our Local!
