SESSION HIGHLIGHT

Your Role in Growing Future Leadership
with Chris Haslinger, Administrative Assistant to the General President, United Association

Being a leader in the Mechanical Piping Industry is one of the key elements needed for growth. As a leader you have many responsibilities including working on growing yourself with continued education and training. However, one area that is often overlooked is the responsibility of growing and mentoring our future workforce and future leaders. In this presentation we will discuss how as an industry we have traditionally grown and trained our workforce, but also how to incorporate mentoring as part of the on-the-job education.

Christopher A. Haslinger was appointed to the position of Administrative Assistant to the General President on January 1, 2019. Chris handles various assignments such as Local Union Officer Educational Programs, UA Organizing Contribution Collections and other tasks as designated by UA General President Mark McManus. Prior to this appointment, he had served as the UA’s Director of Education and Training. He served his apprenticeship as an HVACR technician with Local Union 50 in Toledo, Ohio. Chris has an Associate’s degree in Industrial Training, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Labor Education and a Master’s degree in Business Administration. He is also a graduate of the MCAA’s Advanced Leadership Institute (ALI).
