The President has also appointed Jesus Garcia to Chairman of the By-Laws committee. The by-laws committee examines any proposed amendments, alterations, deletions or additions to the Local’s by-laws.

Jesus has been appointed chairman of the committee and Brian Steinrichter and Manny Rivera are appointed members.
Committee membership is crucially important to the Local’s operation and service to its members. Committees that are still open and forming soon are the Veteran’s Committee and Organizing Committee.
