BAC Receives Multiple Honors in Labor Media Contest

The BAC Journal, BAC’s Organizing Tools – a newsletter for BAC officers and organizers, a video treatment of the BAC/IMI International Apprentice Contest, and President John J. Flynn’s “President’s Message” were each recognized for communications excellence as part of the 2004 Labor Media Contest, sponsored by the International Labor Communications Association. Since 1955, the ILCA contest has highlighted the best in labor media produced or published by international and local unions. BAC Secretary-Treasurer James Boland congratulated President Flynn and the IU staff on the awards, and said, “Conveying the contributions and achievements of our members, our officers and our Union, particularly in the areas of organizing and apprenticeship and training, is a big job. It’s great to be recognized for doing it well.” The following ILCA awards, presented to BAC in November 2004, represent outstanding work completed in 2003:
