UFCW Local 876 Executive Officers & Executive Board Members

The Local 876 Executive Board is composed of the union’s president, secretary-treasurer, recorder and 19 vice presidents. Last year, members elected their Executive Board to a three-year term which began January 1, 2007.

The Executive Board meets every month to establish the Local’s agenda, conduct the union’s business and authorize all of its expenditures.  Your officers and Executive Board are taking Local 876 in a positive direction as they focus on bringing greater and improved services and representation to the membership.
