In 2010, IBEW Local 965 began recognizing members and/or retirees for giving back to our communities through volunteering. We have established the "Charlie Award", which is named in recognition of the first recipient, Charlie Wilhelm. Charlie inspired the need to recognize members giving back to our communities through his involvement with Habitat for Humanity and other charitable activities. Our latest winner is Tim Scharenbroch. Congratulations Tim! Starting this year, winners have a donation of $100 given to the charity of their choice. Tim's charity of choice was the Portage Skate Park.
If you know of someone that should be considered, feel free to submit an application or contact the Union office before the January 2023 Executive Board meeting. You are able to submit your own name for consideration.
