Community Outreach Program

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 and a tool for employees to learn of and participate in charitable events in the community.

A Board of Directors consisting of 5 employees and 1 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 Company BBQ:

“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.”
- Andy LaFrazia, ControlTek President.

ControlTek employees competed in a friendly BBQ contest this summer. The Production, Engineering and Office workgroups formed teams to create the best BBQ lunch. The workgroups were tasked with feeding the entire company and had to come up with a theme all on a budget. Each team was judged on efficiency, quality and ability to stick to the budget. “This fun little contest was meant to echo the challenges we face as a business everyday in a fun way,” Stacey Smith, Human Resources. “

In the end, we were blown away by the commitment, organization, and, most of all, the good time that the employees had during the BBQ competition. The BBQ’s brought out a healthy competitive spirit of ControlTek!” And by the way, the Production workgroup won a pizza and bowling party for their BBQ featuring “Foods of the World.”
