2011 Evening with Labor Awards: Community Services

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Thomas Webb (right) and AFGE 3615 are this year’s recipients of the Thomas M. Bradley Community Services Award. President Webb has been a long-time member of the Community Services Agency’s Board of Trustees, and has promoted CSA through the Combined Federal Campaign to his members, as well as ensured that his local  supported all CSA programs and fundraisers.  He has also overseen a local union that has been extremely active and visible in the community with activities including support of the NOVA Area Labor Federation’s Platoon Program, the Capital Area Community Food Bank, the Race for the Cure, sponsorship of a girls’ basketball team in Stafford County, provision of Hurricane Relief, and donations for the Domestic Violence Awareness Cell Phone Drive.  This local and its president have certainly lived CSA’s motto of “Labor Cares - Labor Shares”!
