Kelly-Williams, Donna

Shortly after attending HTUP I graduated from the University of Massachusetts with a BA in Labor Studies and entered into and completed a Masters in Healthcare Management. I was elected as the Massachusetts Nurses Association in 2009 and served 5 terms until my retirement in 2020.

The International Association of Fire Fighters union has continued to provide the best leadership training and support to me. I have promoted in the fire department, and now am in a role that is exempt for union affiliation (Deputy Chief). I have a close relationship with the union leadership and our organization has made great strides by working collaboratively. Safety is enhanced, efficiencies are found, and there is a strong sense of pride in working together.

Since HTUP, I left OPEIU and took a new position with the NYS Public Employees Federation. After 12 years as a baseball umpire then 10 years as an International Representative for OPEIU I was tired of extensive travel. With PEF I am able to eliminate travel while still representing members. The transition to the public sector was a challenge but worth it.

The HTUP was such an amazing experience. I met so many labor leaders from around the world and learned from so many great instructors and presenters. I have used what I learned to better advocate for my members in the workplace, and in my social and political activities

Caswell, Donald

I retired ten years ago and began visiting some of the many places I’d dreamed about seeing while I was working. COVID put an end to that. Now I’m volunteering my time to Mary Washington Elder Study, a nonprofit organization in Fredericksburg VA that provides educational programs for people of retirement age.
