The CWA Joe Beirne Foundation was established in October 1974 by the CWA Executive Board to honor the name and memory of the founding President of CWA, who served for more than 30 years. In his capacity as the first CWA President, Joe Beirne took great pride in the roles he played in the fields of education and learning and other areas of social concern. Following his death on Labor Day in 1974, the Joseph A. Beirne Foundation has worked to honor his lifelong commitment to education and progressive social causes.
