๐Ÿšจ At the Board Meeting today, Brother Luke Howieson announced his resignation from the position of AFFI Vice-President as he prepares to take on the role of Dekalb Fire Chief.

Shortly after, the Board unanimously voted to appoint District 2 VP Chris Coats as the new Vice-President at Large of the Associated Fire Fighters of Illinois.

Please join us in thanking Brother Howieson for his nearly 8 years of service to the AFFI Board and for his immeasurable contributions to union firefighters.

Congratulations to Brother Coats on your new position! Further details about the open District 2 VP position will be available soon. #affisupports
