Outgoing NPP Trustee Martin Dillon Honored

Conference delegates paid tribute Martin Dillon, senior trustee on the Board of the CWA/ITU Negotiated Pension Plan who retired in March after 24 years of service.

In a unanimously adopted resolution, the Conference applauded Dillon’s long service and his commitment to “the highest ideals of labor-management cooperation.”

“On behalf of the members, officers and staff,” the Conference expressed “our deepest appreciation to Brother Martin Dillon” citing his “diligent stewardship of the operations of the NPP” and his “lifetime devotion to the principles of progressive labor relations.”

Sector President Bill Boarman praised Dillon for his long service to the NPP. “Marty has been a solid partner in helping advance the NPP. He was unselfish, energetic and generous with his time and wisdom. The Fund and its beneficiaries are all better off as a result.”

In a notation to the resolution, Laws & Finance Committee Chairman Bob Maida, who serves as one of three union members of the NPP Board, commented that Dillon “provided us with the stability we needed. He will be missed.” New York Typographical Local No. 6 President Art DeIanni praised Dillon as a “straight shooter.”
