Each and every IAM member, through delegates elected to represent their
local lodges, has a voice at the IAM convention. International President
Tom Buffenbarger answers questions from the press at the 36th IAM
Convention in Cincinatti, Ohio
Media Guide
The IAM's international convention convenes every four years. Each and
every IAM member, through delegates elected to represent their local
lodges, has a voice at the IAM convention.
For a full week, each delegate can participate in open, democratic
discussions, debate and votes on crucial issues that will establish IAM
policies and programs for the next four years.
Delegates work diligently to set priorities and develop policies that will
serve as benchmarks for guiding the IAM and its members through the
stormy seas which lie ahead. IAM members, indeed, all working families
face daunting challenges, challenges in the workplace...challenges in the
political arena...challenges in the global economy.
As the world changes, working families and the unions which represent
them must develop new strategies, new priorities, new commitments to
win the battles for social justice and economic dignity that are the
birthright of every working man or woman. This then, is the legacy of the
Grand Lodge Convention.
The most recent Grand Lodge Convention, the 36th, was held in
Cincinnati, Ohio in September 2004.

| About Winpisinger Center |
As we enter the new century, the only way to keep up with change is
with education. The William W. Winpisinger Education and
Technology Center is the IAM's most visible sign of our commitment
to provide a world class educational facility to train future IAM leaders.
The Winpisinger Center teaches what it is to be a trade unionist. By
studying labor history and the role unions play in our society, students
learn that unions are more than service organizations. We are part of
a larger movement toward economic and social justice with dignity on
the job.
In addition, the Winpisinger Center is a place where our members
learn how to be good leaders. Whether it's a member, shop steward,
local or district officer, or grand lodge representative, everyone who
attends this facility goes home better prepared and more motivated to
do a good job for our members.
We should all be proud of the Winpisinger Center. No other union can
match its record of enrolling more than 46,354 students since
opening in 1981. That kind of commitment to membership training is
an important reason why the IAM will meet the challenges of the 21st
century.
The William W. Winpisinger Education and Technology Center is
named after the man whose dream and efforts made this facility a
reality. Because of his vision, thousands of future IAM leaders are
trained every year.
