"I have been a grateful member of Local 12, the Carpet, Linoleum & Soft Tile Worker’s Union for the past 26 years. I have learned countless valuable life lessons as well as a highly skilled trade during my apprenticeship. After graduating from the apprenticeship program, I became increasingly involved in my local union holding a long position as a Trustee on the Local 12 Executive Board. When running work as a journeymen or lead man I always encouraged a healthy teamwork atmosphere. I have been a full-time organizer for the District Council for the past 17 years, including serving as Lead Organizer to the former Director of Organizing for the past 7 years. It is my honor to be a part of the labor movement, serve our members and contractors, and fight for the rights of workers. I feel it is my obligation to assist and train the new generation of organizers working now and in the future for DC16. As Director of Organizing, I am resolute to battle all opposing fronts who are actively trying to diminish the future of our union."

In 2012, while a Leadman for Bagatelos Architectural Glass Systems, I was given the opportunity to become an Organizer for District Council 16 to help level the playing field for our signatory contractors and secure more hours for our members. I am proud to be able to continue representing and fighting for our members as your Political and Communications Director."

"I am Alex Beltran your District Council 16 Director of Training. I am a Glazier by trade and have been a member of Local 767 for the past 24 years. I immediately became involved with the Local holding various executive board positions and I have been a Delegate to District Council 16 since 1998. In 2008 I was hired as a Glazing instructor, and in 2012 I was asked by then Business Manager Doug Christopher to take the position of Director of Training. Training and certifications have always been important to me and I am still constantly learning new products, processes, and teaching techniques in order to better serve the members of our Council. For example, I was one of the first Glaziers in the IUPAT to become a Certified Welding Inspector and Trainer through the American Welding Society."
