IVP, IEC Caucus Results

September 20, 2011

Convention delegates met in district caucuses Sept. 19 to nominate candidates for International Vice President and members of the International Executive Council.  Under the IBEW Constitution, delegates hold elections in a caucus to “nominate” a candidate and those choices are formally ratified by the full convention later in the week.

All 11 of the incumbent Vice Presidents were nominated. 
Two new candidates for IEC were nominated.

• Solomon Furer, business manager of Windsor, Ontario Local 773, was nominated by the Eighth District delegates. 
  
• In the Sixth District, Oklahoma City Local 1141 Business Manager Joe Smith was nominated by delegates.
  

All IEC members are business managers of their respective locals.
Nominees will be elected by the convention as a whole on Thursday.
