Honoring Our 2025 Service Award Recipients

We ended the year on a celebratory note at our annual Holiday Dinners and Service Award Ceremonies. Festivities began on the Big Island in early December, followed by Kauai and Maui, and concluded on Oahu.

The Oahu General Membership Meeting and Holiday Dinner was held on Saturday, December 13, at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. President Matthew Brady led the Invocation, officially opening the evening’s dinner and entertainment. Newly appointed Business Manager Sam Barrett Jr. commenced his Business Manager Report sharing important Union updates. The Awards Ceremony followed, honoring members with 25 to 65 years of dedicated service.

We extend our sincere congratulations and mahalo to all our 2025 Service Award recipients for their years of dedication, craftsmanship, and commitment to Local 675.
