To honor the life and service of the late Will J. Brown, Wescom Credit Union, through the Wescom Foundation, is dedicating three grants to local non-profits.
Brown, who passed away in March 2024, was a dedicated volunteer to the organization for more than 40 years. He was first appointed to the Wescom Board of Directors in 1980 and was later appointed to Director Emeritus in 2011. During his tenure on the Board, he served as Board Chairman, Vice Chairman, and various Board committees.
In addition to Brown’s passion for serving on the Board, he also loved to play golf and was a proud Marshall at Brookside Golf Course, which is adjacent to the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena. To honor his service, Wescom is dedicating a tee box plaque at Brookside with the message: In Memory of Will J. Brown, Brookside Marshall, Wescom Board of Directors.
Brown also continued to mentor and involve himself with AT&T’s internal organization, C.I.T.I.E.S (Community Involvement Team In Every Sector), of which he was one of the founding members. This organization encourages, prepares, and mentors minority employees of AT&T to pursue leadership positions.
To further commemorate Brown’s life and accomplishments, Wescom Credit Union, through the Wescom Foundation, is dedicating three grants to local non-profits that emulate Brown’s love of golf and passion to help close the digital divide: the Rose Bowl Legacy Foundation ($5,000), Life Skills Fore Pasadena Youth Inc. ($2,500), and Connect to Compete Inc. ($2,500).
