Education in Action

Local 774 Member Moses Muchira (Blue polo to the right) took his leadership journey to new heights by attending the 2026 Leadership 2 class at the IAM’s William W. Winpisinger Education and Technology Center in Marlboro, Maryland. As part of this immersive program, students travel to Washington, D.C., to advocate for their communities on Capitol Hill. Seizing the opportunity, Moses scheduled a meeting with Elizabeth Young, Deputy Chief of Staff for Representative Ron Estes of Kansas’s 4th congressional district, where he passionately presented the urgent issues facing working people in Kansas. This is truly education in action! #IAM774
