Mark Clements became Executive Secretary-Treasurer of the Maritime Trades Department, AFL-CIO, on April 1, 2023.
Michael Hickey has occupied the role of the Maritime Trades Department’s Communications Director since 2011.
Michael began his career in the maritime industry in 2001 serving as a Public Relations Director at the Seafarers-affiliated Paul Hall Center for Maritime Training in Piney Point, MD. In this capacity, he acted as photographer, writer, and point of contact for media requests. Michael later became a liaison to The Seafarers Log, assisting with photography and various other special assignments.
Michael previously worked as a photojournalist for newspapers and magazines up and down the Mid-Atlantic. Hickey has an extensive record of volunteer work for a variety of causes, particularly those involving cancer research and autism.
Hickey’s love of hockey led him to coach at various levels of the sport, including Maryland University Ice Hockey Assistant Coach from 1995-2001.
Michael is married to Kim Hickey, MTD’s administrative assistant. When he’s not slinging a camera or sliding on the ice, Hickey enjoys grilling and training his dog for therapy work.
In 2021, Kim Hickey came aboard as Administrative Assistant for the Maritime Trades Department.
Prior to that, Kim worked for the Seafarers Union in the pension department. She found her calling in the maritime industry after a long career of administrative work in a Capitol Hill dental practice. She likes to say she is staying true to her roots as a former resident of the Canadian Maritime Provinces.
Kim is married to Michael Hickey, MTD’s Communications Director. She loves animals (they currently have two cats and one dog), chasing rainbows, lending a helping hand, inspiring others to make a difference, and being near the water.
