        The 53rd AFA-CWA Board of Directors Convention will take place in downtown Portland on March 9-11, 2026. Your LEC officers are thrilled that our beautiful city was chosen to host this year from a list of several other major convention cities around the country.

        • DATES: March 9-11
        • TIME: Call To Order at 0900
        • LOCATION: The Benson Hotel, 309 SW Broadway, Portland, Oregon 97205

        All members in good standing are invited and encouraged to attend one or more days of the BOD Convention as a guest. It’s a great opportunity to learn firsthand how your Union works to represent your interests locally and nationally.
