A message from Mary B. Riley, President of the Scott London/Chris Riley Memorial Scholarship Fund:

On August 28, 2020 we bid a congratulatory farewell to longtime Local 528, RI Council 94, AFSCME member Darlene Golomb.  Darlene worked for the University of Rhode Island for 32 years. As she enters a well-deserved retirement where she plans to spend more time with her husband, adult children and grandchildren I wanted to take a moment to thank her for all she has done for Local 528.
