Scholarship Winner Feedback

Greetings, 

I want to share some feedback that we received from a previous UAW Local 933 Scholarship award winner. It’s always good to know that our membership was able to make such an impact and a difference in someone’s life.  Good Job brothers and sisters!

In Solidarity, Gary Holmes, President UAW Local 933

Dear Local 933,

In 1999 I received a scholarship from your local to attend Indiana University. My dad, Don Nix, is now retired but has always been a proud UAW member. Since 1999, my career has taken many turns. I graduated Indiana University with degrees in Journalism and Psychology. 

I’ve worked for NBC, Angie’s List, The Martinsville Reporter Times and a few other places as a journalist and in marketing. Today, I am the Marketing Director for the Carpenter’s Union in Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. My union upbringing helps me every day in this career. I understand our members and those we are recruiting thanks to my exposure to the UAW at a young age. 

Today, I want to thank you for your investment in my education. That scholarship truly helped me pay for school and the union pride I learned from the UAW help me be the best at my job. 

Thank you again for your investment in me and my family. 

Sincerely,

Lacey Nix

Marketing Director Indiana/Kentucky/Ohio Regional Council of Carpenters
