                                                    Charlie Award

    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.

   At the January 2011 Executive Board meeting, Jeff Rouse was chosen as the recipient of the 2011 Charlie Award. Jeff is a Utility Technician who works for Alliant Energy out of Baraboo.  See the picture below. 

    This year's application deadline has been extended to March 21, 2012.  If you know of someone that should be considered for this year, feel free to submit an application or contact the Union office.  You are able to submit your own name for consideration.
