International Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers Executive Board Re-elected

President Tim Driscoll, Secretary-Treasurer Jeremiah Sullivan, and Executive Vice President Keith Hocevar were re-elected for another term at the BAC 2025 Convention, running unopposed.

“The confidence that you have placed in me — and my fellow Board members – to lead our great union needs to be earned every day, and you have my pledge that I’ll do my utmost to continue to earn that trust,” Driscoll said in his acceptance remarks.

Sullivan echoed that commitment not to take the members’ trust and support for granted, laying out a charge both for the Executive Board and the union as a whole: “We must lead by example with understanding and compassion for the struggles of all working people. We must ensure our union is on the righteous side of history.”

Hocevar laughingly admitted to not having prepared remarks “because I didn’t know if it would be bad luck,” but pledged to “build the best union we could possibly build.”
