SUPPORTING THE FUTURE OF OUR INDUSTRY

LOCAL 103 AND NECA DONATE NEW VAN AND EQUIPMENT TO MADISON PARK TECHNICAL VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

IBEW Local 103 and NECA, which connect many Madison Park graduates to rewarding careers in the construction industry through our electrical apprenticeship programs, made the donation as part of our ongoing efforts to support public education, vocational education, and the future of the electrical construction industry.

"Giving back to the cities and towns we work in is a pillar of both the NECA and Local 103 organizations and truly all our partnerships" said Kristen Gowin, executive manager of NECA Greater Boston electrical contractors. "We hope this equipment serves the students well and that we'll see many of them again soon coming through the doors for our apprenticeship program!"

"As Boston's premiere institution dedicated to technical and vocational education, Madison Park is absolutely critical to the fabric of public education in our city," said IBEW Local 103 Business Manager/Financial Secretary, Lou Antonellis. "Local 103 and NECA are proud of our longstanding partnership with Madison Park, and we want to do anything we can to support its mission and to help further prepare the future of our industry. We're very happy to donate this electrical equipment that students will be able to use for years to come."

IBEW Local 103 donated a brand new van to the electrical department of Madison Park Technical Vocational High School in Roxbury. The van – complete with a Madison-Park-branded decorative wrap – was filled with new electrical equipment, tools, and supplies valued at $10k and donated by NECA Greater Boston electrical contractors. The donations were given to Madison Park to support students preparing for careers in the trades.

"Madison Park is very grateful for this generous donation," said Madison Park Head of School, Dr. Sidney Brown. "IBEW Local 103 and NECA offer so many amazing opportunities to our students and graduates. Now, they have truly gone above and beyond to support our school and to help us give our electrical program students the best possible education in their chosen field."
