A Message from IKORCC EST Todd Pancake
/in News /by IKORCCEST Todd Pancake walks in the Terre Haute Labor Day Parade with his family and Local 133.
Brothers and Sisters,
On April 1st, 2019, I was appointed to fill the Executive Secretary Treasurer’s position vacated by then EST Mark McGriff with his appointment as the Midwestern District Vice President. I’ve been a proud member of the UBC and Carpenters Local #133 for 39 years. I completed my apprenticeship in 1984 and worked with general contractors including Circle B & Terstep. I also had a few pile driving opportunities. Building layout and concrete were definitely my favorite areas.
In 1991, I became a training instructor and worked for 15 years before I was hired as the Director of Education for the IN/KY Training Trust. After 12 years, I went to work for then EST McGriff as his Chief-of-Staff. In July 2019, IKORCC delegates elected me to the EST position for a four-year term. It’s an honor and privilege to serve as your new EST.

Rossford Campus Wins Veteran’s Award
/in Local 351, News /by Lacey NixThe Rossford IKORCC campus works hard to honor military veterans.

Clinic for the Helmets to Hardhats program. Helmets to Hardhats helps military veterans get back to work quickly after service.
“These veterans tend to be natural leaders and end up as foremen and superintendents. As they go through their careers, they bring more veterans in. We’d like to have a nice flow of veterans coming into our program every year,” said Mike Gibson, a senior representative at the Rossford campus.
