Business Manager

Scott Thrower

I joined the IBEW in 1987 as a first year Apprentice, topped out in 1990 as a JW. I was promted up to Project Manager for Preferred Electric for 7 years, after which I went back with my tools in 1999. In 1999 I became a 5th year Apprenticeship Instructor for the Charlotte JATC while working on my tools. In 2007 I was elected as 379 President, and in 2010 I came to work for IBEW 379 as an Organizer. In 2013 I was appointed to Assistan Business Manger and in 2019 I was appointed to Business Manager by the Executive Board to fill the term of Business Manager. I was married to Sharon in 1990, and have 3 great kids.
