Dear Brothers and Sisters of Region 9:
I am writing to you today to express my deepest gratitude and thanks to all the members and the families in Region 9.
This is a bittersweet time for me, as I leave the comforts of the Region 9 family and move on to serve as a UAW Vice President. I am prepared to work with new leadership, staff and members to move forward the agenda of working men and women.
I was elected and re-elected as your Director professing to accomplish “Back to Basics.” I leave you with the same message for success. Continued support of your leadership and looking out for every Region 9 family member will bring you complete success and peace of mind and heart.
I have enjoyed the Labor Day Parades, Award banquets, Round-table meetings, Plant tours, Veteran’s events and so much more in our GREAT Region.
I want to thank you again for giving me the opportunity and honor to serve as the Director of UAW Region 9. Your trust, loyalty and friendship will always be a fabric of my life.
In solidarity,
Terry Dittes, Director
Region 9, UAW
