Simmons reelected; officer elections conclude

Delegates to the 35th Consolidated Convention voted today to elect Timothy Simmons to a five-year term as International President to the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers.

“It is an honor and a privilege to serve the men and women who call themselves Boilermakers,” Simmons said to an energized crowd upon his election. “We cannot stop now. We’ve got to take this energy back to our local lodges and fire them up the same way. With organizing recruiting and training, we can triple in size before our next convention!”

Additional News

Welcome to the official website of the Boilermakers’ 35th Consolidated Convention. This gathering of delegates from across the United States and Canada occurs every five years as required by the International Brotherhood Constitution. It is here that we renew the constitution and elect International officers.

Our convention is by far the largest and most significant event held by the Boilermakers. The actions of the convention delegates will set forth the rules and policies we will rely upon over the next five years and beyond. This is both a serious responsibility and a remarkable privilege. Delegates are the voice of the members, and it is the members who form the fabric of our great union.

With the hard work and dedication of the delegates and committees, we are confident our union will emerge from the 35th Consolidated Convention ready to take on the challenges of the next five years.


Special Exhibits

The Boilermaker History & Preservation Department will have a very special exhibit showcasing many different aspects of our Boilermaker legacy.

The Exhibit Hall is open daily through Wednesday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
