The Evansville Electrical Board convened on October 2, 2025, to review several apprentice and journeyman applications, as well as continuing education opportunities for local electricians.

The meeting began with the approval of multiple apprentice applications. The board accepted applications from Aaron Allen, Caleb Bell, Wynn T. Bauer, Alex Crow, Luca Deal, Mica Ellington, Jonathan Hall, Aaron Schafer, and Tyler Schmidt, all of whom were affiliated with various electrical training programs. Each application received unanimous support from the board members.

In contrast, the board faced challenges with a journeyman application from Dan Spurgeon of Solar Energy Solutions. Concerns were raised regarding the lack of documented experience under a master electrician and the absence of relevant educational qualifications. A motion to reject Spurgeon's application was made and passed unanimously.

The board then reviewed two master electrician applications. The first, from Perry Johnson of Reliant Electric, was tabled due to insufficient proof of experience under a master electrician. The second application, from Christopher M. Widzip of NKC Concepts, faced similar scrutiny. The board discussed the need for verification of Widzip's apprenticeship completion and work hours. Ultimately, both applications were tabled pending further documentation.

The meeting concluded with the approval of a continuing education course titled "Various Voltage Systems, Transmission, and Distribution," which will be offered by the IEC. This course is scheduled for the evening and will provide three hours of continuing education credits for participants.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the board's commitment to maintaining high standards for electrical licensing and training in Evansville, while also facilitating ongoing education for current electricians.
