Get Social With IAPE!

IAPE members, are you connected with your union on social media?

We’re revamping our social presence with new, fun and informative ways to hear from IAPE representatives. In addition to these regular email updates, you can get IAPE news, event invitations, contract tips and holiday notices on your favorite social platform: Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.

Take today, for instance: y’all can have your “national coffee day,” we’re an international union, so we observe #InternationalCoffeeDay.

(Yes, it’s a thing.)

Please follow, like and share—but most importantly, interact with IAPE and let us know what you’d like to see more of from your union. Reach out to IAPE Staff Rep/Mobilizer Marlena Fitzpatrick with your suggestions!

Congratulations to Princeton member Tim Merle, named this week as the newest addition to the IAPE Board of Directors. Tim fills the vacant Location Director - Mid-Atlantic position and joins Dow Jones colleagues from across the United States and Canada representing our members on a daily basis.

IAPE’s Bylaws describe the process for filling vacant Board seats: “A vacancy in any directorship shall be filled by appointment of the Board of Directors on recommendation of the Executive Council. The appointed Director shall be vested with the full powers of the office.”

As a Mid-Atlantic Director, Tim joins Patricia Corley and Whitney Henderson as location representatives from the Dow Jones campus in Princeton, NJ.
