John A. Penney Community

2022 Recipients of the John A. Penney scholarship

The John A. Penney Memorial Scholarship was founded in 2019 by his family to carry on his legacy and give back to the union and community which was such a big part of John’s life. The goal of this scholarship fund is to continue his efforts to make education and job opportunities in the electrical field available to all who have the drive and determination to work hard and learn the skills to become an electrician. John Penney was an electrician long before starting his own company and was a long-standing NECA trustee of the Local 103, the JATC and liaison between the members of the Local 103 and other contractors for over 30 years
