When Mayor Charles Webster is not actively engaged in taking care of business on behalf of the City of Clay, Alabama, Local 8 Southeast member Charles Webster is hard at work helping more than a dozen newcomers to the BAC trades at a time hone their craft skills and overall masonry knowledge as an IMI instructor. But his talents don’t end there. According to Local 8 SE President and IU South Regional Director Ed Navarro, Mayor/Brother Webster assisted the Local in securing a long term lease to utilize Clay’s old city hall building for training and meetings.
