Randy Withrow resigns from Council 2

AFTER 21 years with Council 2, Randy Withrow, Staff Representative in Spokane, resigned on January 1.

Withrow has taken a position as Chief of Staff for the newly elected Mayor of Spokane, John Powers.

Withrow worked as a corrections officer for the Spokane County Sheriff’s Department from 1973 to 1979.

During that time he became shop steward and then president of Local 492, a position he held for four years.

The Local consisted of 30 members at that time. Today it is more than 300.

Withrow was hired by Council 2 on January 1, 1980. During his time with Council 2, Withrow represented members throughout Eastern Washington. For the last 15 years he represented employees of the City of Spokane.

"Randy always did his job well and with a sense of humor," says Chris Dugovich, Council 2 President and Executive Director.

"It is always tough to lose someone with the level of experience and expertise that he brought to the position. Although he no longer works for the Union, at least he remains close by.

We are looking forward to continuing to work with Randy in his new position with the Mayor of Spokane."
