The SMART International leadership team is adding two new staff members, bolstering the International’s capacity in order to better serve members across North America.
Lance Deyette joined Darrell Roberts and Tom Wiant as an assistant to the general president (AGP) following the 2025 SMART Leadership Conference. Deyette is a long-standing member of SMART Local 66 in Washington — more than 34 years — and most recently served as president of the Northwest Regional Council, as well as a general vice president on the General Executive Council.
The International also established a new assistant to the general secretary-treasurer (AGST) position to support General Secretary-Treasurer John Daniel in his work. Aaron Bailey, a 28-year member of Local 66, began his position on June 21, following many years spent strengthening our union as an International organizer, Local 66 business representative and local union organizer.
