Corrections Officer of the Year

ACU recently honored Ray Stewart (Local 3921 of Texas Council 7) as Corrections Officer of the Year. For more than three weeks, Stewart led his Beaumont local in feeding more than 3,500 COs and their families in the aftermath of Hurricane Rita. “Ray is a shining example of talking the talk and walking the walk – the personification of what an AFSCME corrections officer should be,” said Brian E. Olsen, Council 7 executive director.
