The IBEW Veterans Committee serves all those who have served, building community and strengthening veteran voices within the IBEW and throughout the entire electrical industry.

Mission Statement

Founded in 2018, the IBEW Veterans Committee was established to assist, provide guidance to, and support IBEW local unions in building veterans committees designed to mentor young veterans and bring veterans’ issues to the forefront of the IBEW. The efforts of this committee bring together the house of labor, the veteran community at large, IBEW members who are veterans, and local union leadership to improve lives in the community and livelihoods of the IBEW workforce. The IBEW Veterans Committee seeks to organize individual local union committees in order to facilitate and connect national and community organizations with IBEW local unions to recruit and promote the hiring of veterans within the electrical industry. Local union committees can provide the means for educational and social activities to strengthen the connections between military veteran IBEW members, encourage committee members to be more fully informed about economic and political issues that affect them, and foster their relationships with established union members and local union leadership

The 305 Vet Committee will be run by KJ Patane. Please reach out to him for any more information.
