Brothers and Sisters,

On February 24, apprentices from around the country competed in the first-ever Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association (PHCC) HVACR Apprentice Contest in Deadwood, South Dakota.

We are proud to announce that Local 537’s Cole Kelley, a 2nd-year apprentice, took home first place! A three-time SkillsUSA national champion, Cole’s latest accomplishment reflects his strong work ethic, exceptional skill, and dedication to his craft.

We are incredibly proud of Cole for representing Local 537 with professionalism and excellence on the national stage.

Congratulations, Cole!

In solidarity,

Daniel T. O’Brien
