Virginia AFL-CIO Elects CWAer as First Woman

Virginia AFL-CIO President Doris Crouse-Mays with CWA Pres. Larry Cohen.

The 200 delegates to the Virginia AFL-CIO Convention elected the state fed's first woman president, and she's a CWAer. Doris Crouse-Mays had been a CWA organizer with District 2 until her election as secretary-treasurer of the Virginia AFL-CIO in 2006.

Among resolutions adopted was a call to accelerate the build out of high speed broadband networks, submitted by the CWA Virginia State Council.
