IBEW 569: Meet Desiree Bates

Desiree Bates grew up with parents who instilled confidence and the belief that she could achieve anything she set her mind to. That mindset has carried her through her passions in dirt bike racing, metal art, and now her career as a union electrician with IBEW Local 569.

After years in a corporation that held her back, Desiree turned to IBEW 569 for the support and opportunities she knew she deserved. With the union at her side, she continues to grow as an electrician while building a better future with stability, security, and a strong community behind her.

For Desiree, IBEW 569 is more than just a career path. It’s a vital part of her life and her journey to always be better.
