Register for Session 3 of D&I Leadership Surge Training |

Why Do CEOs of Global Companies Rank Leadership Development as One of their Top Five Human Capital Strategies?
Strong leaders drive competitive advantage. They’re better positioned to navigate change, attract and retain top talent, and drive higher productivity through increased engagement. Despite the proven benefits, most leaders say they’re not satisfied with their organization’s development offerings. Sound familiar?
Leadership Surge offers comprehensive leadership development programs and training to help your organization address your leadership gap and prepare your team for the future. Led by Alex Willis, Leadership Surge delivers high-energy, highly effective services and programs that positively impact organizational culture.
This training has been designed to address the unique challenges faced by electrical contractors on this very topical subject.
Please reserve your calendars for May 10th, from 10 am to 12 noon EST. Zoom Link will be provided on March 17th, April 5th and May 02nd.

Save the Date for R. Hugh Carroll Safety Awards |
The ECAO Hugh Carroll Safety Awards recognizes ECAO members who strive to put safety first in their day-to-day operations. The award was first launched in 2000 to recognize the significant contribution ECAO member, R. Hugh Carroll made in the field of health and safety in the electrical contracting industry.
Full detailed answers to application questions will ensure consideration of all the available information in the scoring process, giving your company the best chance of success in the evaluation process.
Prior to submitting an application, we encourage applicants to review the points below:
- A 3-person panel will review each application and score each answer out of ten (10). The median of the three (3) scores will be the final question score.
- Ensure that all questions have been answered. Unanswered questions will result in a 0/10 score for the question and effect the overall application score.
- Best possible scores will be achieved where questions are answered thoroughly, including the detail required to allow the panel to understand the efforts.
- Fully complete the accident statistics section.
- For companies engaged in a health and safety management system, continuous improvement process, or have been audited by an accredited third-party health and safety provider, ensure that it is indicated on the application.
Typically, this event was done during our Annual General Meeting, however, in 2021 we launched it as an exclusive event! Once again, we are excited to recognize members who are working diligently to ensure safe working conditions. These efforts result in fewer injures, improved morale, better business performance and continue to show that we are leaders in health and safety. This year, Dr. Joel Moody, Chief Prevention Officer of Ontario will be joining us as our Keynote Speaker.
