After years of dedicated service to the Labor Heritage Foundation and the labor movement, we’re
celebrating Hetty Scofield’s retirement at the end of this year and honoring the remarkable path she’s traveled.
As Outreach Coordinator at LHF, Hetty helped connect our work in labor arts, history, and culture to union members, retirees, and community partners across the country. She brought deep experience, warmth, and a clear understanding of why culture matters to organizing—because she’s lived that work herself.
Before joining LHF, Hetty served as a staff representative with the Communications Workers of America, and she continues to be a tireless advocate for working people as president of CWA’s Retired Members Council, District 4, and as president of ROSA Retired Officers and Staff (CWA). Hetty remains firmly rooted in the labor movement, even as she steps back from her day-to-day role with Labor Heritage. "We are deeply grateful for her leadership, her care for people, and her belief in the power of solidarity across generations," adds former LHF ED Elise Bryant.
Please join us in thanking Hetty for her years of service and wishing her all the best in this next chapter. - Chris Garlock, LHF Executive Director
