• EARL WILLFORD LABOR-MANAGEMENT COOPERATION AND PARTNERSHIP AWARD: 

     This Award is named to honor the memory and work of Earl Willford who was the Director of Labor Management Programs at the Minnesota Bureau of Mediation Services.  Earl was well known and loved throughout the State for his work with public sector unions and their management groups.  In addition to establishing labor-management committees, Earl trained new committees - many labor-management committees owe their success to his excellent teaching skills.

                Earl had the extraordinary ability to bring people of diverse interests and backgrounds together.  He did this in a calm and gentle manner

           and always projected his sincere respect for individuals. 

                Earl died suddenly while attending the National Labor-Management Conference in Chicago on May 29, 2996.  In a eulogy  given at the

           National Conference, Earl was described as a "peace maker."

                The Twin City Area Labor Managment Council is proud to name its Labor Managment Cooperation and

           Partnership Award in Earl's memory.
