Chris Dugovich, President and Executive Director of Council 2, has been re-elected International Vice President for the Northwest Region of AFSCME.

The region represents 60,000 members in Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Montana and Idaho. Dugovich was first elected to the post in 1996. He was re-elected without opposition.

“In the last four years, we worked hard at bringing the region together,” Dugovich said after his election. “We brought a full-time member of Afscme’s education staff to the region, our regional conference held every fall has proven to be a success, and our regional newsletter continues to be well received. In the next four years I will continue to bring the region together.”

Joe Devlaeminck, President of the 20,000- member strong Council 75 in Oregon, has been appointed by AFSCME President Gerald McEntee to serve on the International Judicial Panel.

Devlaeminck will bring the same common sense and integrity to the judicial panel that he has brought to Council 75. Congratulations to Joe on his new position.
