Headquarters
"The heart and soul of the IBEW is found in union halls and work sites throughout North America, but the symbolic home of the Brotherhood is the International Office."
-- President Edwin Hill, 2005 dedication of new IBEW headquarters
From humble beginnings in St. Louis, the IBEW moved its headquarters several times in the early years, finally settling in Washington, DC, in 1920, where it remains today. The International Office is the nerve center of the IBEW, with departments that oversee every major industrial branch as well as numerous programs to serve the needs of members. The International also fosters member communications through its official publication and Web site. |
