Retirement & 20 Year Plaques
With the inordinate amount of retirements since September 11, 2001, the volume of requests for Retirement Plaques has been extremely high. In order to best insure your company member plaques are received in a timely manner we have streamlined the process. A copy of Plaque Request Form is attached (which can also be found in Delegate Manual sect. W-19). Instructions are as follows. - Plaques are only for retirement, 20 year and every five year increment after 20 years -- not for promoted members.
- Delegate must prepare Plaque Request Form (see attached). Name spelling & dates must be accurate.
- Completed forms must be faxed to UFA mailroom at 212-683-0690. Minimum 60 days notice is recommended.
- Mailroom generates plaques for signature by President and Recording Secretary.
- Mailroom mounts, finishes & packages for presentation.
- Plaques are delivered to your Delegate at the firehouse, Union Meetings or can be picked up at UFA office -- but only after confirming that it is ready.
- After faxing, call the UFA switchboard and ask for the mailroom or Ann Elizabeth to confirm they have received your Request Form, and again prior to visiting for a pick-up. Following this process is the quickest way to insure prompt service & accurate plaques.
