Happy New Year to all our members and partners! We welcome in 2017 with New Year's Resolutions to help our members have a very successful year. For IECRM,  2016 focused on building infrastructure -- moving into TWO new buildings to support our growth.  2017 will be focused on systems infrastructure  --   improving our systems, streamlining workflow, and enhancing services to support our members.

Our IECRM New Year's Resolutions:
  1. Member Involvement: Our committees are off to a great start, making plans for 2017 and beyond! What is your passion? Safety? Regulation and policy? Networking? Building the next generation of leaders? Veterans issues? We invite you to join a committee to strengthen the industry.
  2. Meaningful Networking Activities: Click here for the full line-up of Member Events: signature events, networking mixers, and educational forums. Remember, when your company is a member of IECRM, everyone at the company is a member.
  3. Valuable Learning Opportunities: Click here for Career College and Continuing Education: PDUs, CEUs, Safety, Solar, NEC Changes, and License Prep. 
  4. Online Continuing Education & Safety Training: Coming Soon! IECRM-approved electrical training courses from the convenience of your home or office.
  5. Better Communications: We are listening...and working on a solution for "too many emails." Look out for the email coming next week to update your email profile so you can subscribe to only the types of emails and frequency you prefer.
  6. Better Information: We will be launching a Member Survey in the coming weeks to find out what our members need and want from their premier electrical association. 
  7. Better Systems: We are assessing and streamlining our processes behind the scenes, and will embark on research of new systems and tools to manage the growing student and member community needs.
  8. A Safer Community: As safety is at the top of our industry's concerns, we invite you to join our free Safety Forums that are part of your membership. Click here for a list of safety-specific programs developed for you in 2017.
  9. More Opportunities to Hire the Right People: New: Automated Online Job Posts: Any contractor member or industry partner can post for any position. New: Online Hire Lists of "Green" and Experienced Electricians: The IECRM Hire Lists are continually updated lists of individuals with varying levels of electrical experience, that IECRM Contractor Member companies may use to find and hire new employees. New: Online Borrowed Worker List: When a contractor has a surplus of good people that he/she would like to keep when work is slow, they can be offered to other contractors as part of a short term lending program. More Career Fairs: IECRM will host 3 career fairs this year to attract great candidates for you.

  10. New Partnerships: Coming Soon! With a growing network of local and national Industry Partners, IECRM is working to develop programs, trainings, and discounts for our members.
We thank you in advance for a wonderful year ahead and look forward to working together and making this happen with you!

Sincerely,
Marilyn Akers Stansbury & the IECRM staff
