Independent Electrical Contractors

IEC National Committees

IEC Committees meet throughout the year to develop new programs, evaluate existing programs, and make recommendations to the Board of Directors for new policies and services. All contractor members, employees of member companies, and chapter staff are eligible to serve on committees. Participating on a committee is an excellent opportunity to help guide IEC, engage with other IEC members at the national level, and make a difference in the association and industry.

The IEC A&T Committee maintains IEC’s National Standards of Apprenticeship, the apprentice training curriculum, and technical training for other field workers in accordance with its own committee bylaws. The committee also contributes to outreach to potential apprentices. The A&T Committee may include one or more subcommittees. Familiarity with IEC’s apprenticeship training programs is preferred.
