Ivy Geilker has been named Special Representative for the IAM Healthcare Department, effective September 1, 2025. The appointment was made by International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) International President Brian Bryant. Geilker will serve under IAM Resident General Vice President Jody Bennett.
Geilker joined IAM Healthcare as an Associate Organizer and has played a key role in several organizing campaigns. These efforts brought new members to The Pharmacy Guild/IAM from companies such as CVS, Walgreens, and Safeway Pharmacy. The new members include pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and support staff at these major employers.
Prior to joining IAM Healthcare in February 2024, Geilker worked as Senior Lead Organizer with the Colorado State Employees’ Union.
