Business Manager at Connecticut Laborers' District Council
Hartford, Connecticut Area
Charles LeConche began his career as a construction laborer as he served as a foreman and steward for several major building and construction contractors in Connecticut and throughout the northeast. Shortly after, he became a field representative for the Connecticut Laborers’ District Council (www.ctlpl.com), a member of the Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA.org) and later graduated from the Harvard Business School (www.hbs.edu). Several years later, he was elected as president of the Connecticut Laborers' Local Union 230, Hartford, Connecticut and after that, Charles LeConche was elected as business manager of Local Union 230.
During the last several years, Charles LeConche was elected business manager of the Connecticut Laborers’ District Council and was immediately highly successful in creating new strategic alliances with business owners and managers who had not previously considered a relationship with the Laborers' Union. Charles LeConche was instrumental in the formation of the Connecticut First Coalition (www.ctfirst.com), which is an alliance of companies, political leaders, labor officials and individuals promoting the Connecticut economy and finding better ways to invest in order to protect Connecticut taxpayers.
One of the ways Charles LeConche has expanded the Connecticut economy is by developing a number of job training and life skills programs along with several other organizations in a cooperative partnership program. Some of these strategic business partners include Capital Workforce Partners (www.capitalworkforce.org), AGC-Laborers' Training Program (www.laborers-agc.org) and the Connecticut Department of Labor (www.ctdol.state.ct.us).
