Join me in supporting Carlos Aguirre for Secretary-Treasurer

Dear Fellow Members,

I am honored to endorse Carlos Aguirre for PASS National Secretary-Treasurer wholeheartedly. Carlos has demonstrated unparalleled passion, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to our Union's greatness throughout his tenure.

Carlos’ leadership style is genuinely exceptional. I vividly remember our dinner in 2019 when he, as Vice President, sought my feedback on the Union and his role—a rare and admirable gesture. His self-awareness, humility, and relentless pursuit of growth as a leader instill immense confidence in his ability to adapt and excel. His unique approach to leadership is refreshing and inspiring, making us all feel secure in his capabilities.

As a member of the National Legislative Committee, Convention Delegate, and Regional Business Agent, I’ve had numerous interactions with Carlos as Secretary-Treasurer. He meticulously scrutinizes reimbursement requests, ensuring our dues are used wisely and appropriately. Carlos holds everyone to the same high standard, fostering a culture of accountability and respect for our Union’s resources.

Carlos is unwavering in his dedication to prudent financial management. He ensures every reimbursement request complies with our internal travel policies and the law. His commitment to transparency is evident in the annual internal audits and the Department of Labor's five-year audits. Carlos’ diligence in filing the "Form LM-2 Labor Organization Annual Report" underscores his dedication to transparency and accountability.

One of Carlos' significant achievements was negotiating a new lease for the PASS National office, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars. He is also spearheading upgrades to our national database's financial module, ensuring meticulous tracking of Chapter funds.

Carlos’ dedication extends beyond our National Union’s agenda; he is committed to advancing our mission globally. As a member of the International Federation of Air Traffic Safety Electronics Association (IFATSEA), Carlos works to promote our mission on the international stage. His involvement with organizations like the Transportation Safety Summit on Aviation Safety and the Aerospace Supply Chain Resiliency Task Force showcases his leadership and influence.

Diverse roles mark Carlos' journey within our Union, each presenting unique challenges and opportunities. Carlos has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership and commitment from Region I Assistant to National Legislative Committee member and from 2017 ATO Contract Team Lead to Chapter President of FL1. His authorship of a letter to Congress, which garnered support from eight House Representatives and led to a staffing increase at the Miami ARTCC, exemplifies his dedication and effectiveness.
