A Message from the Incoming Executive Secretary Treasurer, James Barry

Brothers and Sisters,

It was with great pride and enthusiasm that I accepted the nomination to run for the position of Executive Secretary Treasurer of the IBEW Construction Council of Ontario (IBEW CCO). And it was a true honour to have been acclaimed to the highest position within the IBEW CCO. While acting as your Executive Chairman at the CCO for the last 4 ½ years, I was grateful for the consistent support that I received. I very much appreciated the confidence placed in me by the 11 local union Business Managers and Presidents who make up the Construction Council. In my new role, it is my personal goal to vigorously represent all the local unions’ interests with directness, honesty and integrity at the provincial table. As the newly elected Executive Secretary Treasurer of the Construction Council I aim to pursue and implement positive change within the CCO office with the collaboration of the Council’s Business Managers and Presidents.
