Women make up a vital part of IBEW 1245 in virtually every line of progression.
In recognition of the role of IBEW 1245 women, Business Manager Bob Dean has assigned staff resources to launch a Women’s Committee at 1245 that will:
- Provide a space and voice for 1245 women to be seen, heard, supported and celebrated;
- Help grow the number of women across our industries by reaching out to girls and women to introduce them to the trades and to encourage them to join.
Eleven IBEW 1245 women from a cross section of IBEW 1245 properties in California and Nevada will form the inaugural committee in 2024. IBEW 1245 Business Representative Nicole Brooks, a 15-year 1245 member and former Senior Construction Operator for the PG&E GC Gas Transmission Department, is leading the effort and chairing the committee.
