The Ohio and Vicinity Regional Council of Carpenters is part of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. The OVRCC oversees union carpenter and our trade autonomy millwright projects for commercial, residential and institutional construction projects throughout all of Ohio and even in four counties of West Virginia. Led by Executive Secretary-Treasurer Robert Peto, membership is divided among four regions (Northeast, Northwest, Southwest and South Central) and is also served by four Joint Apprenticeship Training Centers , one for each area. Many dedicated men and women serve as business representatives/organizers for each of these areas. These agents are the liaison between the project manager and/or general contractor and the union, making sure that the right skilled professional is placed on each and every job. Equally dedicated office and support staff complement the daily work of the OVRCC. But it is our members, the men and women who are trained, experienced experts in their craft, who are the heartbeat of the OVRCC. Their "can-do" attitude and their commitment to completing every job on time and on budget is a testament to the work ethic instilled in every OVRCC member. As a result of this reputation, the OVRCC has available for any customer who wishes, a Customer Bill of Rights, which reads: CUSTOMER BILL OF RIGHTSBy partnering with the Ohio and Vicinity Regional Council of Carpenters you are partnering with the mostly highly trained and experienced carpenters in Ohio.
