I was elected Northern District Trustee of the Associated Fire Fighters of Illinois in February 2020 at the Aurora caucus and formally elected by delegates at the 43rd Biennial Convention in June 2020. I joined the Berwyn Fire Department in 2008 and have since achieved the rank of Lieutenant. In 2014, I was appointed Steward by the Local 506 Executive Board. I was elected President of Berwyn Firefighters Local 506 in January 2016 and continue to serve in that role. Prior to my fire service career, I enlisted in the United States Navy shortly after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. After graduating at the top of my class, I was stationed in Coronado, California, where I served in military intelligence as a Cryptologist and volunteered as the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Coordinator. In 2004, I was honored as Junior Sailor of the Year at my command. I now look forward to advancing my union service as your next District 1 Vice President of the AFFI. #LauretoDVP1
