6th Annual Holiday Party “I Love IECRM” Recap

IECRM Members and Partners received a “First Look” at IECRM’s New Building and Future at the 6th Annual Holiday Party “I Love IECRM”

On February 4, 2016 over 75 electrical and energy industry professionals came together at Balistreri Winery, located in an industrial area just North of Denver, for the 6th Annual IECRM Holiday Party, hosted by the Independent Electrical Contractors Rocky Mountain (IECRM) (www.iecrm.org). IECRM is the Rocky Mountain region’s premier trade association and educational institution for electrical and energy professionals.

This year’s holiday party “I Love IECRM”, was held in February, just outside of the traditional holiday season hustle and bustle, where IECRM members and partners came together to celebrate the New Year and the future and innovations of IECRM. The relaxed atmosphere of the winery opened up the opportunity for members and partners to visit and network with several professionals in the industry.

Upon arrival, guests enjoyed authentic Italian hors d’oeuvres and were invited to sample over 15 of Balistreri’s award winning wines and participate in a giveaway drawing. The giveaways included a valentine dinner for two in Balistreri’s wine cellar and three generous Balistreri gift baskets each filled with a different assortment of goodies. Balistreri offered tours of its wine making facility as IECRM members exchanged business cards and the latest happenings at their companies. The buffet-style dinner, made fresh from Balistreri’s kitchen, included a savory variety sure to please everyone’s unique palate.

“The annual Holiday party was organized a bit differently this year being held in February. However, the timing couldn’t have worked out better as we were able to give IECRM members and partners the very first look at the new facility. The event was a success, with over 75 industry professionals in attendance. The night was comprised of a healthy balance of half Industry Partners and half Contractor Members. I am excited about the future of IECRM, and am excited to be a part of it,” said Katie Shobe, IECRM Marketing Manager.
