In last month’s issue of this newsletter, we shared IECRM’s plans for the New Year in light of the unexpected challenges of 2020 and the excitement to be more nimble and agile to refresh, renew, and reset with greater speed. This month, we encourage Rekindling, Revitalizing, and Rejuvenating our relationships with each other in our industry. Now, more than ever, it’s important to create a “loving” environment as we work to infuse more innovation, more courage, and more enthusiasm for different programming, services, products and learning.
What is essential and clear is loving the work we all do - in and for the industry - and the pride and fulfillment we derive from it. Show your love of your electrical projects and embrace your team and employees by nominating them for a Summit Award! Read more below.
Join me and the IECRM team to rekindle and keep our relationships, partnerships, and friendships blazing. We know that light at the end of the tunnel was placed there by an electrician and we continue this year to propel our energy forward and embrace the strength of our commitment to a common objective – to ensure the electrical contracting and renewable energy sectors -- and you -- flourish.

“Pros Like You”
About…
Electrical contractors need partners who understand their needs and share the same “get it done right” attitude. Not only that, contractors need local access with national power and reach.

As a Denver-based division of Winsupply, Inc., they provide contractors with a wide range of products, expertise, and online/offline solutions to support their businesses. Winsupply encourages entrepreneurship.

SkillsUSA is currently looking for judges for the Colorado SkillsUSA Conference. Checkout the some details below along with the Judging Interest Form Link. Thank you to Jen Jasinowski for sharing this opportunity, please connect with Jen at Jennifer.Jasinowski@cccs.edu with any questions.
SkillsUSA is the student career and technical organization that we use to develop leadership skills in our Skilled Trades CTE programs at the high school and college level. This year since the State Conference will be held virtually, we are looking for people from across Colorado to help judge and provide feedback to students.
Judging of submissions will take place mid to late March with most contests requiring about 5 hours to judge (scheduled on your own time over that few weeks). With so many CTE programs disrupted this year, this is a great opportunity to reconnect with students- they have greatly missed the industry interactions. Thanks for helping to spread the word. Judging Form: http://ow.ly/yhbP50D8Kvq
