The ControlTek Community Outreach Program began as a simple way to organize charitable efforts made by ControlTek employees. ControlTek has a history of community giving and the CCOP was created to provide a tool for employees to learn about and participate in charitable events in the community. A Board of Directors consisting of five employees and one owner meet regularly to identify and plan charitable events in the local, regional and global community throughout the year. The CCOP organizes specific events and also provides a vessel for employees to participate in charitable events throughout the community. From sponsoring disadvantaged families at Christmas to hosting an outdoor festival to benefit the Red Cross September 11th Fund, ControlTek employees have always made a difference in the community. “ControlTek is about top down-bottom up communication. A production worker, project manager and engineer all have direct access to me, every voice is heard.
