12th Annual IECRM Summit Awards Honors Best and Brightest in Electrical Contracting and Renewable Energy
On Thursday, April 12, more than 200 leaders in electrical contracting and renewable energy in the Rocky Mountain region gathered at the Denver Athletic Club to recognize and celebrate excellence in the electrical, energy, and green building fields through the prestigious Summit Awards. This year was the 12th annual awards ceremony with a record breaking number of awards received. Seventeen IECRM member companies and individuals took home twenty-six awards, the highest number in the ceremony’s history.
“Throughout the years, the Summit Awards have recognized leadership, collaboration, and excellence in our industry,” says Lindsey Cox, president of the IECRM board of directors. “This program is about celebrating projects that have added to the landscape and vitality of our communities, the lifetime achievements of several members, the incredible support we receive from our partners, and the contributions that our IEC apprentice alumni and instructors have made in the industry.” Cox is vice president HR and Finance for 1st Electric Contractors.
“Our association is growing rapidly every year in Apprenticeship enrollment, Contractor membership, and also the recognition in the Summit Awards program,” added Marilyn Stansbury, CEO of IECRM. “We broke previous years’ entry records for outstanding projects and companies nominated this year. The addition of three new awards -- excellence in community service, innovation, and industry collaboration -- and our migration to a totally online entry process have made it easier to enter and broadened the categories in key areas we believe are essential to the strength of our industry.”
Celebrating excellence was the main theme this year. Entries were judged by an independent panel of industry experts. Many IECRM Summit Award winners have gone on to compete for an IEC National Award for their outstanding work. This year, guests enjoyed a cocktail reception to the music of a live pianist, bustling networking with colleagues and friends, and a sumptuous seated dinner set under the gleaming crystal chandelier of the DAC’s Grand Ballroom. The Premier Sponsor of the 2018 Summit Awards was CRS Insurance Brokerage (
www.crsdenver.com
). Other supporting sponsors included: Pinnacol Assurance (Safety Award), Corey Electrical Engineering (Bar), Graybar (Networking Reception), Allcable (Table Wine), Allcopy Products (Photography & Media), and Milwaukee Tool (Wire-off Contestant Table).

The Move Toward Fee-Based Advisory Accounts
Why financial professionals are changing their business models.
A major shift has occurred in the financial world.
More and more financial professionals have moved away from the industry’s traditional compensation model to a new one – in the eyes of many of them, a better one.
Increasingly, financial professionals are introducing their clients to fee-based accounts.
This means a change in the way a financial advisor is paid for some or all services. It also implies a meaningful change in the advisor-client relationship.
