Currently also serving as Regional Manager for LIUNA’s Ohio Valley and Southern States Region, and as an Executive Director in the Office of the General President, Steve has spent his entire career in construction labour. He joined LIUNA while still in high school and worked on various construction projects while earning a degree in Business Administration from East Tennessee State University.

Steve went on to serve as Business Manager of his Local Union and later of the Tennessee Laborers’ District Council. He was subsequently appointed as an International Representative with responsibility for LIUNA’s multi-state agreements with the Tennessee Valley Authority.

Throughout his career, he has worked with a broad spectrum of stakeholders, including union members, benefit trust funds, utility owners, contractors, regulators, and elected officials. In his current role, he is involved with LIUNA’s Construction, Corporate Affairs and Organizing Departments.

Farner is expected to discuss themes related to workforce development and collaboration between labour and industry.

The World Demolition Summit is organised by D&Ri in partnership with the National Demolition Association and the European Demolition Association, with the support of headline sponsor Volvo Construction Equipment.
