Our IBEW International Officers

IBEW  International President

Picture
Kenneth W. Cooper
   Jan 1, 2023 - Present

Kenneth Cooper is a first-generation journeyman inside wireman who grew up poor in rural Ohio in a family filled with love, but without many of the comforts most children are accustomed to, including indoor plumbing and adequate insulation.

His mother worked a nonunion factory job with low wages and no benefits, and Cooper learned at an early age the perils of workplace power concentrated in the hands of the employer. As he grew older, he discovered the power of a union and a voice at work, lessons he learned as a young apprentice at Local 688 in Mansfield, Ohio.
Cooper has been steward of the IBEW’s financial resources, including the IBEW’s pension and health and welfare funds, for the last six years. He has often said his decisions have been motivated by his deep gratitude for the stability and opportunity he found through the IBEW.
