Iron Workers Local 417
Hauser Bros., Inc.

Our 2026 Honorees

We are proud to honor Hauser Bros., Inc., whose legacy spans three generations of leadership, and Iron Workers Local 417, the backbone of construction across New York's Hudson Valley. Our honorees have provided decades of dedication and leadership. Their enduring impact has helped shape both our local community and the greater Hudson Valley region.

As we mark the 25th anniversary of the tragedy of September 11, 2001, we are especially grateful for the opportunity to honor the ironworkers union for the unwavering dedication and extraordinary efforts of its members in the aftermath of 9/11. Their skill, courage, and commitment during one of our nation's most difficult times exemplify the values of service and resilience that continue to define their union today.

Please join us in recognizing these outstanding organizations while helping Ðǿմ«Ã½ keep the cost of quality education within reach of working families.
