At the IBEW 9th District Progress meeting held in August, Local 1245 was the proud recipient of the esteemed Henry Miller Award. The Miller Award is given to Locals “in recognition of their ongoing commitment to the organizing principles upon which the IBEW was founded.”
“To see our Local’s effort to organize being honored in front of all the other Locals from the 8th and 9th Districts was impressive and awe-inspiring,” said Local 1245 member Karri Daves, an active member of Modesto Irrigation Direct’s Volunteer Organizing Committee. “We know that there’s a difficult road ahead of us, but we are already starting to get ahead of the pack to keep our Local and Union strong!”
