David 4 Business Manager

ABOUT ME.

PRIOR TO JOINING THE IBEW LOCAL 278 APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM IN 2009, I WORKED AS AN UNINDENTURED APPRENTICE IN THE LOCAL 60 APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM IN SAN ANTONIO, TX. AT THAT TIME, THERE WAS A LONG WAITING LIST, AND ONLY A LIMITED NUMBER OF APPLICANTS WERE ACCEPTED EACH YEAR.

AFTER MOVING BACK TO CORPUS CHRISTI AND COMPLETING THE GULF COAST APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM IN 2013, I BECAME ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN SERVING OUR LOCAL UNION IN SEVERAL ROLES, INCLUDING:

· JOB STEWARD

· LOCAL UNION VICE PRESIDENT

· EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBER

· LOCAL UNION FIELD ORGANIZER

· JATC APPRENTICE INSTRUCTOR

· FOREMAN DEVELOPMENT SERIES INSTRUCTOR

· NFPA 70E INSTRUCTOR

· MEMBER OF THE CORPUS CHRISTI ELECTRICAL ADVISORY BOARD

· DELEGATE TO THE IBEW 40TH INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION

I CURRENTLY SERVE AS YOUR BUSINESS MANAGER/FINANCIAL SECRETARY.

I AM HAPPILY MARRIED TO MY WONDERFUL WIFE, ISABEL CARRANCO, AND TOGETHER WE HAVE FOUR CHILDREN, AGES 13, 11, 7, AND OUR 9-MONTH-OLD BABY BOY.

SERVING AS BUSINESS MANAGER HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE OF MY LIFE, AND I AM PROUD OF THE PROGRESS WE HAVE MADE TO STRENGTHEN OUR UNION. AMONG OUR BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE:

· SUCCESSFUL CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS, RESULTING IN AN 11% WAGE INCREASE OVER TWO YEARS AND THE ADDITION OF FOUR PAID HOLIDAYS, GUARANTEED TO FALL ON WEEKDAYS EVERY YEAR.

· IMPROVING APPRENTICE TRAINING BY IMPLEMENTING CRAFT CERTIFICATION/PERFORMANCE-BASED EVALUATIONS TO BETTER PREPARE OUR FUTURE JOURNEYMEN ELECTRICIANS.

· TRANSITIONING FROM A FIVE-YEAR TO A FOUR-YEAR APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM, ALLOWING FOR A HIGHER WAGE STRUCTURE, INCLUDING A 5% INCREASE PER PERIOD AND A 10% INCREASE FROM 3RD TO 4TH PERIOD.

· BUILDING AN INCREDIBLE TEAM OF STAFF MEMBERS WHO ARE COMMITTED TO SERVING OUR UNION.

WHEN I’M NOT WORKING FOR YOU, I ENJOY LIVE MUSIC, A COLD BEER, AND SPENDING QUALITY TIME WITH MY FAMILY.

PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE. LEADERSHIP THAT DELIVERS RESULTS.
