The Indiana Kentucky Ohio Regional Council of Carpenters (IKORCC) is now the Central Midwest Regional Council of Carpenters.

This name change symbolizes a broader vision and a more inclusive approach to the regional representation. The decision to rebrand comes after careful consideration of the organization’s strengths, pursuit of progress, and the desire to better reflect the diverse and dynamic communities the Council serves.

In 2005, the Indiana Regional Council merged with the Kentucky Council to become the IKRCC. In 2011, Ohio was added, introducing IKORCC. “As we embark on this exciting journey as the Central Midwest Regional Council of Carpenters, we are grateful for the continued support of our members, partners, and communities,” an annoucement from the union read.

The Central Midwest Regional Council of Carpenters (CMRCC) represents over 36,000 professional tradespeople in 36 locals in Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. CMRCC is a proud affiliate of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, which has a century-plus tradition of representing the best of the building trades.
