Proud to Sponsor Vermont Craft Open

Celebrating Partnerships, Community, and the Spirit of the Game

UFPO is honored and proud to take part as a sponsor of the Vermont Craft Brewers Golf Tournament on September 19, 2025. This is an event where athletic excellence, camaraderie, and business opportunities flourish amid the beauty of the fairways at Barre Country Club. Our sponsorship reflects our deep appreciation for the game, and our commitment to support both the sport and the communities it unites in the Green Mountain State.

Our sponsorship places our Union front and center, aligned with the prestige and tradition of golf. Whether engaging with seasoned professionals or enthusiastic amateurs, we take pride in seeing our name woven into the fabric of the tournament—on banners, merchandise, digital platforms, and beyond.

We are especially proud to support tournaments that give back—those that raise funds for charities, ALS, local initiatives, scholarships, or shared causes. Sponsoring these events not only strengthens our connection to the communities we represent & protect in Vermont, but also allows us to champion positive changes and demonstrate our union values in action.

For us, golf sponsorship is more than logos and signage; it’s about building relationships. We value the unique networking opportunities this tournament provides, and we are delighted to contribute to an atmosphere where lasting partnerships and collaborations can flourish and help grow our union.

In the ever-evolving landscape of labor relations and legal complexities, Unions are continually faced with complex challenges that necessitate expert guidance. In recognition of the need for enhanced legal counsel, we are proud to announce the hiring of two new law firms, a strategic decision designed to strengthen our legal standing, foster growth, and ensure that our Union will continue to be on the forefront of labor. This partnership marks a significant milestone, underscoring our commitment to excellence for the membership, integrity, and forward-thinking leadership in the Labor Movement.

The newly appointed Massachusetts law firm of Lenow & McCarthy, P.C. and New York’s law firm of Davis & Ferber, LLP, bring a wealth of experience and a dynamic approach to legal counsel. With decades of collective practice across multiple jurisdictions, the firms have garnered a reputation for excellence in litigation, discipline, contract negotiations and labor relations. They have represented unions in all areas of practice and have delivered proven results through meticulous research, creative problem-solving, and unwavering professionalism.

The hiring of the new law firms represents a bold step forward for our organization in growing in Massachusetts and New York. It is a testament to our dedication to legal excellence, ethical leadership, and a proactive labor approach. With the support and expertise of our new legal partners, we are confident that we will navigate the complexities of the legal world with greater assurance, protecting our unions interests and fostering sustainable growth.

We extend our sincere welcome to our new legal partners and look forward to a fruitful collaboration that will drive our union forward and reinforce our standing as a leader in our field.
