Dear Member,
Nominations for Local 1245 Delegates to the 40th International Convention per IBEW Constitution Article II, Section 10 as provided in the International Constitution and the Local 1245 Bylaws will take place February 1, 2021 through March 2, 2021.
Due to the ongoing pandemic and California’s Regional Stay Home Orders, it is unknown if restrictions on public gatherings will be lifted in time for the February and March General Membership Meetings. Accordingly, the protocol for making Local 1245 Delegate nominations is being changed as follows:

No member shall be eligible for delegate unless he/she has been a member of Local 1245 in continuous good standing for at least two (2) years immediately prior to nomination (IBEW Constitution Article II, Section 10).
Please mail your letter of interest to:
