In today's fast-paced world, businesses often prioritize their bottom line, striving to outperform competitors and maximize profits. However, there are those extraordinary companies that stand out by exemplifying a profound dedication to the communities they serve. One such company is Briggs Electric.

"Briggs takes supporting WNC and its students very seriously," says Greg Dye, general manager of Briggs' Nevada and Northern California operations. "We are very fortunate to have a community college here in Carson City, and many businesses benefit from WNC's graduates and workforce-trained students. We take pride in our role as a community business in helping educate students so that they can share their knowledge and expertise for our future workforce."

At Briggs Electric, community support is not just a company value but a deeply ingrained philosophy. This unwavering commitment is present in their partnership with Western Nevada College, an institution that plays a pivotal role in shaping the region’s future workforce.

"Successful businesses such as Briggs Electric realize the importance of giving back to their communities and supporting the next wave of contributors to the workforce," says Niki Gladys, Executive Director of WNC Foundation, acknowledging Briggs Electric's pivotal role in their achievements.

Year after year, Briggs Electric goes above and beyond to support WNC students by generously supporting their fundraisers, the Reach for the Stars Gala and Golf for Education. These events raise essential funds for scholarships, empowering students to pursue their dreams despite financial barriers.

With a rich history that dates back to 1946 when S.E. Briggs founded the company in Newport Beach, California, Briggs Electric's enduring legacy has been one of progress, service, and integrity. Today, it stands tall in Carson City, a firm believer in creative, cost-effective solutions for electrical needs, having contributed to remarkable projects like the Reno Events Center, the Carson City Multipurpose Athletic Center, Courtyard Marriott, Carson Medical Group, Michael Hohl Subaru, Tesla, Panasonic, and Redwood Materials. Located at 5111 Convair Drive in Carson City, Briggs Electric continues to be a driving force for positive change. Learn more about Briggs at https://briggselectricnv.com.
