Connie began working for the Sheet Metal Institute in September of 1997. She came to SMI with no prior knowledge of the sheet metal trade, apprenticeships or how the union operated.  Throughout the years she has been with SMI, she has gained a broad knowledge of the apprenticeship program and sheet metal trade.  She has tremendous respect for the industry and how dedicated the members are to mastering their craft.   She takes great pride in playing a role assisting with the success of the members, helping to achieve their career goals.   As the office manager, Connie wears many hats.  She enjoys interacting with the variety of people who are an integral part of the industry including applicants, members, government entities, and contractors.
