Congratulations to Anthony Villa, Regional Manager for Eastern New York on being named a 2025 Labor Leadership Honoree by Labor Press!

A lifelong New Yorker, Anthony Villa joined Local 11 in 2002 as an apprentice, working his way through the ranks as journeyman, shop steward, and foreman. In 2013, he was hired on staff with the NASRCC, where he has since served as Local 290 President, NASRCC Executive Board Trustee, Delegate to the Council, and most recently, Eastern New York Regional Manager.

Villa is involved in the broader labor movement, serving as a delegate and executive board member for the Nassau Suffolk Building Trades and the AFL-CIO Long Island Federation of Labor. He also holds leadership positions on the Suffolk and Nassau County boards of business agents, several local labor advisory boards, and the Green Build Council’s Long Island chapter.

Villa oversees more than 4,800 members across three locals. Among his many career milestones, he is especially proud of mentoring young carpenters and helping unorganized workers find a pathway into union membership. His signature field projects include the Catskill Delaware UV Plant and numerous high-rise developments across New York City and Westchester County.

“An important part of our role in the community is making sure our members and contractors have what they need to achieve their goals and be successful,” Villa said. “That means leading with experience, strengthening partnerships in the field, and ensuring union carpenters remain the most skilled and reliable workforce in the industry.”
