Local 2725 is the first local executive board to be sworn in in the new year.
AFGE Local 2725 is one of the largest D.C. locals in District 14, representing roughly 1,000 members in various agencies across the city:
The election took place on Nov. 30, 2023. The new e-board members assumed office on Jan. 2, 2024, and were sworn in on Jan. 3. The officers are:
President: Countee Gilliam
First Vice President: Dr. Kofi Onumah
Second Vice President: Helen Hooks Scott
Treasurer: Maurice Holton
Secretary: Alicia Robinson
Chief Shop Stewards: Federick Curtis, Michael Jacobs, Dante Blackston, Cameron Sherr, Keith Long, Latonya Miles
Sergeant-At-Arms: Kelvin Edwards
As president of the local, Gilliam said his local’s approach to advocating for members rests in a quote by British statesman Lord Milner, “If we believe a thing to be bad, and if we have a right to prevent it, it is our duty to try to prevent it and damn the consequences.”
The local is also the home local to our very own National Secretary Treasurer Eric Bunn, who is the first D.C. government member to hold a national office.
“Join me in welcoming Local President Countee Gilliam and the rest of AFGE Local 2725’s executive board to AFGE,” said District 14 NVP Ottis Johnson, Jr. “I look forward to working with them over the next few years.”
The Office of Personnel Management last week took a huge step toward aligning the locality pay maps for employees on the Federal Wage System and General Schedule.
