WHAT ARE IEC MEMBERS ABOUT?
The mission statement adopted by the Rocky Mountain Chapter IEC and its members is To Support, Educate, and Promote
Professional Electrical Contractors.
- IEC members are very active legislatively and work with a dedicated lobbyist to review all proposed bills that would impact
the electrical industry. One of the Chapter's key successes was to change the apprentice ratio, thus making it easier
for employers to hire and train employees. This effort was successful and the ratio was changed to 3:1.
- IEC members are very active in their communities, making the state of Colorado a better place to live and work.
- IEC is the only association in the state of Colorado that represents solely the independent electrical contractor.
- IEC takes pride in providing well-trained apprentices who will become qualified journeyman electricians.
- IEC has worked hard to be the voice of the electrical industry and we will continue our efforts to educate contractors
on critical issues that impact their businesses.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF WORKING FOR AN IEC CONTRACTOR?
- A broad-range of continuing education programs.
- Educational materials at discounted rates.
- Trained apprentices (more than 1,800 students have received IEC training).
- IEC has representation on every NEC code panel. Your input is needed to initiate discussion on making the
