Fred Dickey

Fred Dickey “Bright Idea” Fund will support annual scholarships for high school students in Western North Carolina through the Clean Air Community Trust’s Air Pollution Solution Scholarship Contest. The fund also supports the “Bright Idea” program, which promotes the use of energy efficient, compact fluorescent lamps as a fundraising initiative for schools and community non-profits. This fund has been established in memory of Frederick A. Dickey who devoted his career to the advancement and application of lighting technologies, energy efficiency, and its many benefits.

An electrical lighting engineer, Fred Dickey held a long, distinguished career with General Electric. After his retirement in 2000, he worked with Major League Baseball as a lighting and field consultant and volunteered with Waste Reduction Partners in Asheville. He was a past member of Jaycees and a member of the Fletcher Planning Board. This fund has been established to ensure that Fred Dickey's passions live on and reflect in some small way the bright light he represented in his community.
