Annie Hill served as CWA executive vice-president and then secretary-treasurer from 2008-2015. Hill began her career in her home state of Oregon In 1976 as a residential installer. Her employment in the former “male” technician job was a direct result of the Bell system’s affirmative action consent decree with the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission (EEOC). Hill was elected president of Local 7904 in 1985 and was appointed to CWA staff five years later. She moved up the union ranks, moving to District 7 headquarters in Denver, where she bargained multiple contracts and arbitrations with US West and other employers. In 2004, Hill was elected CWA District 7 Vice President, a position she held until her election to CWA national leadership.
