Congratulations to SMART 18 member (and 2022 SMART Army Award-winner) Kevin Turner, this year’s first-prize winner in the Union Plus Unions Power America Contest! Turner was surprised with a $20,000 award after being nominated to win by his daughter, who wanted to recognize the many impactful roles Turner plays in his community and his family, including his tireless volunteer efforts.

Turner raised more than $10,000 for Habitat for Humanity and worked on building homes with the organization for over six years. He was inspired to deepen his work with Habitat for Humanity when he first volunteered and noticed some materials weren’t sized right by a nonunion sheet metal shop.
