Several SMACNA Members greet and chat with Philadelphia-area Congressman as the Philadelphia Phillies faced off in an exhibition matchup in Clearwater, FL.
Two dozen of SMACPACs leading ambassadors attending a SMACPAC event in the Tampa-Clearwater area met with Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-PA) at a Philadelphia Phillies spring training game.
Since being sworn in in 2015, Congressman Boyle has been a staunch advocate for union contractors training and employing a skilled union workforce in the Philadelphia area and nationwide. SMACPAC has actively supported the Congressman and he has attended multiple industry events in and around the Philadelphia region as well as on Capitol Hill. Earlier this month the Philadelphia Congressman dropped by to greet SMACNA members attending a SMACPAC weekend event in Tampa-Clearwater. Congressman Boyle is the Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee, Chairman of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly’s Political Committee, and serves as Chair of the Blue-Collar Caucus.
