Reflecting on the IBEW's 41st International Convention

September 25, 2026

This week I had the honor of representing Pereira Wealth Management at the IBEW's 41st International Convention in San Diego, joining more than 2,000 delegates from across North America for five days of business, solidarity, and celebration under the theme "Powering a Brighter Future." This convention only happens once every five years, so it was a special one to be part of.

It was great seeing so many familiar faces stop by my booth, including some I hadn't connected with in a while. Thank you to everyone who took the time to say hello and catch up. While I attend regional events throughout the year to stay in touch with members, there's nothing quite like being together at this scale.

Congratulations are also in order for two big moments from the convention. I was glad to hear that Frank Muia was elected Third District International Vice President, and Ken Cooper was reelected as IBEW President. Both are well-earned recognitions of years of dedication to the Brotherhood.

I came home with some great mementos from the week, pictured above. But the best part was reconnecting with the union members and families I'm proud to serve. If you stopped by the booth or ran into me in San Diego, thank you for making the trip worthwhile.

If you have questions about retirement planning, 401(k) reviews, or pension decisions, I'm always happy to talk. Reach out at pereirawm.com or (877) 997-7113.
