[Dear Community:]
The past three years has been an extraordinary time in my life. I cannot adequately express my gratitude to those who gave me the opportunity to further the cause of our union and working American craftsmen.
In many ways, I have the best job in the world! Every day I go out into the community, meet people in positions of leadership, and tell them the truth about our highly-skilled, highly-motivated workforce. But one thing we learn in the construction industry is that all jobs – even the best ones – eventually come to an end.
It is [in] this spirit that I must hereby tender my resignation as Assistant Business Manager of IBEW Local 302 effective July 1, 2016.
Although it is with some sadness that I will be moving on – sadness that I will no longer be working with my Brothers and Sisters to advocate for our cause on a daily basis – I want you to know that I will always be available to lend a hand should the need arise. We like to talk about how we are the best local in the IBEW and the elite of the construction industry. But I don’t think it is possible to know the truth of that statement until you see it from the inside. We are special because of our training, our constantly updated skills, and most of all, the men and women that I am proud to call my Brothers and Sisters. I sincerely believe it is better now than when we found it three years ago, and I believe its best days are ahead.
But one thing that will never change is my commitment to our community, our craft, and my Brothers and Sisters. Thank you all for making this one of the best experiences of my life!
Sincerely,
Bob Lilley, Former Assistant Business Manager, Proud member of IBEW Local 302 Card #D404392
