On Nov. 1, 1984, he was hired as a Staff Representative. He worked in the area from Spokane south to Walla Walla representing members in that part of the state. Later he transferred to the Tacoma office and represented our membership in Pierce County and some King County locals. Subsequent to that, he moved to the Olympia office and represented locals in the southwestern Washington area, both in Grays Harbor and as far south as Vancouver. During his years with Council 2 Gillming represented 45 of more than 130 locals in Council 2 at one stage or another. “Jerry spent years with Council 2 doing an excellent job for the members in many locations across the state,” says Chris Dugovich, president and executive director of Council 2. “We appreciated his many years of service and wish him the best in a much-deserved retirement.” Gillming says he appreciated his time with Council 2 and the camaraderie and friendship that he enjoyed there. “I will look back on this with fond memories,” he says, adding that he hopes to keep in touch with everyone as much as possible, either face-to-face or via e-mail. |
