When Glenn Dixon retired, he immediately stepped up to expand retiree opportunities in the Council of Prison Locals (CPL) and throughout District 12. He would set up an AFGE Retiree Table at events and sit for hours on end, engaging with everyone he met.
When COVID upended in-person meetings, Glenn adapted by setting up an exhibit table in his garage for virtual events, and doing virtual presentations.
Glenn was no stranger to AFGE events – he was eager to stay with the union and help out because his love for the union was borne of years of serving his brother and sisters at CPL, his local and nationally.
Due to his deteriorating health, he had to cancel his plans to attend the convention. But even from afar, he is working to get resolutions passed that would strengthen AFGE’s engagement with its retirees.
Glenn Dixon represents all of our retirees as a model of how to stay active and contribute to AFGE and its mission.
We cannot think of anyone more deserving for the inaugural AFGE Retiree of the Year Award.
