A Message from IECRM’s CEO: Marilyn Akers Stansbury

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.

Everyone is so ready to re-connect! I recognize how the pandemic has impacted our relationships with each other and the need to rekindle them.  When starting or stoking a fire you know that with kindling, the smallest spark can become a roaring blaze. Once the fire has reached its full potential, you know you must fuel and maintain it to stay strong. Keep stoking the fire with us and attend the IECRM Member Forums, join a committee, enroll in new professional development courses and register for upcoming virtual and in person events. 

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.

IECRM Self-Pay Tuition Policy

 

Self-pay students who are employed with a member company must register and pay through the member company using the IECRM Flashpoint Enrollment Portal/Process in order to qualify for member rates.

Self-pay students that are employed with a member company but that do not register and pay through the member will be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


Self-pay students who are employed with a member company and require a payment plan will not qualify for the member rate and will be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


Self-pay students who do not work for a member company will continue to be charged the non-member rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.


To maximize association/membership benefits, ALL member companies are encouraged to register and pay for all enrolled apprentices utilizing internal payment arrangements and processes between employer and employee.


We value our IECRM members and apprentice community. We encourage all apprentices to be enrolled in the four-year apprenticeship program, earning, and learning their way toward Journeyworker licensure. We encourage all members to utilize the member discount for tuition, books and applicable fees to ensure the long-term support and success of the next-generation electrician.


(Payment Plans are available, please reference the Self Pay Payment Plan Policy.)


Self-Pay Payment Plan Policy


We offer the following arrangements for students that are unable to pay in full at the time of registration.


● Self-pay students will be charged the non-member rate.
● A 50% down payment of total semester tuition, books and applicable fees are due at registration.
● Remaining balance can be divided up to 3 additional monthly payments ($10.00 processing fee applies on each installment)
● All payments that are declined will incur a $20.00 NSF fee.

 

We encourage all students who are employed with a member company to work with their employer to register and pay through the IECRM Flashpoint Enrollment Portal/Process. This will ensure the student is paying the lowest possible rate for tuition, books and applicable fees.
