I would like to take this opportunity to thank the delegates attending the Pennsylvania Professional Fire Fighters Association’s 42^nd biennial convention in Pittsburgh who’ve supported, and reaffirmed my position as Secretary/Treasurer. 

It is with a great sense of pride I continue to serve you and the entire organization.  In my position as Secretary/Treasurer, I will continue representing our organization, the individual locals, and members of the Pennsylvania Professional Fire Fighters Association.  I will work closely with you, President Martynuska, and members of the executive board in caring out the agenda you have set for us at convention, and, I will insure your concerns as you relate them to me are heard and if necessary acted upon at board meetings.  I only hope you can see my commitment to our organization and my desire to see it continue to grow. 

I would be remiss for not congratulating the members of Local 1, Pittsburgh for hosting a fine convention.  There is a lot of work and time consuming effort that goes into running a convention, things the delegates don't see, again thank you Local 1. 

Lastly, I hope everyone had a great time and a safe trip home.  If there is anything I can do for you or your local call upon me anytime.

Again thank you.
