The IAM continues to prepare for its 40th Grand Lodge Convention, to be held October 2-7, 2022 at the Las Vegas Hilton at Resorts World.

As part of the preparations, the IAM Executive Council has voted on and come to consensus on a 40th IAM Grand Lodge Convention logo and theme, which will be “IAM Standing Strong.”

“Our union has overcome so many great obstacles in the past few years,” said IAM International President Robert Martinez Jr. “Despite all the challenges we have faced, we have remained strong and united toward our goals of justice and dignity for every IAM member and family. We look forward to showcasing these great victories at our 40th Grand Lodge Convention under the theme of ‘IAM Standing Strong.’”

The 40th IAM Grand Lodge Convention Official Call will be mailed to Local Lodges in the coming weeks.

“The Western Territory and the Grand Lodge Convention Host Committee are fully mobilized in preparation for a great convention in Las Vegas this October,” said IAM Western Territory General Vice President Gary R. Allen. “Our Grand Lodge Convention logo and theme both speak to the power and pride of our membership in the Western Territory and across North America. We continue to look forward to welcoming IAM delegates to Las Vegas.”

The 40th IAM Grand Lodge Convention will be held in San Diego in September 2020. An important part of the Convention will be the 2020 IAM Commemorative Convention Book, and a popular feature of the book will be ads from our own Local and District Lodges. Proceeds from the ads will help offset the cost of the Convention.

Therefore, we are asking each IAM Lodge to consider purchasing an ad. Our Convention’s theme is “IAM Forging the Future,” as it accurately describes our union’s proud heritage and hopes for tomorrow.

You can design your own ad, or select one of the ready-made options from templates, which can be personalized by submitting print quality photos of your lodge members.

You can submit your ad online here.

For an order form and detailed information on ad choices, pricing, specifications and sizes, please contact Communications Department Office Assistant Terri Crutchfield at 301-967-4520 or tcrutchfield@iamaw.org.

Ads and payment must be received by the IAM Communications Department on or before May 1, 2020.
