Briggs
CSEA Executive Vice President Ron Briggs is retiring this month after more than 30 years as a union activist. He held leadership roles at all levels of our union, working tirelessly toward building a more inclusive and responsive union.
Briggs often spoke of his humble upbringing being aided by the public services delivered by CSEA members and credits them for helping his family through tough times. He became a member of CSEA when he joined Fulton County’s Department of Social Services as a child protective worker before moving to the Probation Department, where he will retire as a probation officer.
Elected 2nd Vice President of CSEA’s Fulton County Local in 1997, Briggs progressed to 1st Vice President and Local President. He also served eight years as CSEA Capital Region President and held multiple statewide roles before becoming Executive Vice President. He has served in leadership roles for committees that include New Member Orientation, PEOPLE and Probation, and was a graduate of CSEA’s LEAD Program. Briggs also serves as an AFSCME International Vice President since first elected in 2020.
“Please join me in congratulating CSEA Executive Vice President Ron Briggs on his retirement,” said CSEA President Mary E. Sullivan. “I want to extend my sincere appreciation and thank you to Ron for his many years of service, and I wish him the best in his future endeavors.”
