The Local 32 Executive Board is the highest deliberative body in our local union outside of General Membership Meetings. The Officers, Trustees, and Board Members that sit on the board are Local 32 union members who are elected every three years by the membership. They are responsible for guiding the direction of our local, overseeing finances, and representing members in the decision-making process of the local. The Executive Board meets roughly once per month, usually at the Local 32 office in Wall, New Jersey.
