More than 200 delegates and guests gathered for our 60th Annual Convention in Atlantic Beach, North Carolina, Sept. 13-15th to elect a new president and new executive board, hear from inspiring speakers, participate in skill-building workshops and movement-building breakout sessions, honor James Andrews and North Carolina’s rich labor history, and adopt new resolutions to guide the organization over the coming year.
In honor of now President Emeritus James Andrews, who retired at our 60th Annual Convention last month from a career in the labor movement that spanned four decades, we interviewed some of his friends and colleagues for this video tribute.
President James Andrews will retire at our 60th Annual Convention in September after more than 35 years of service to the labor movement. To honor his leadership and legacy in North Carolina and beyond, we are asking individuals and organizations to consider placing an ad in a souvenir book.
