I AM AFGE
Accomplishments as Secretary Treasurer
Protecting AFGE’s Priorities Took a Plan…
ROAD TO RECOVERY
From the COVID restrictions, membership fluctuations, telework adjustments, and other external constraints, I made sure that AFGE continues to thrive.
When I took office in 2020 and then re-elected in 2022, we were in one of the worst financial crises in AFGE’s history. Our deficit was 35 million dollars.
At that time, I asked you to join me on the ROAD TO RECOVERY, where together we could define our future with accountability and transparency. As your National Secretary
Treasurer, my objective then was to ensure that:
• We obtained six months of reserves as a safety net.
• We ensured financial accountability at all levels of AFGE.
• We updated our business practices.
To achieve this plan, we implemented;

• Collaboration with the National Executive Council (NEC):

Developed a unified strategy for addressing financial challenges.
• Strategic Planning:

Implemented cost-saving measures without compromising key initiatives.
• Financial Monitoring and Reporting:
Established a system for ongoing financial monitoring and reporting.
Provided regular updates to the NEC and members to maintain transparency and trust.
• Continuous Improvements;

By focusing on these areas, we were able to address our financial challenges while
safeguarding AFGE’s priorities and ensuring long term stability.
Now, 4 years later, we are 45 million in the BLACK.
