Membership & Events Committee FUNction Update

By Bryan Beckett, Office Sensei & Chair, IECRM Membership and Events Committee

Membership: What does it mean to you? Something you pay to be part of? Maybe. Or is it more?

A perspective and approach taken by IECRM’s Membership and Events Committee defines a membership as “Professional Development. Leadership. Mentoring. Engagement. Friendship.” These pillars are all alive and well within the IEC organization.

We recently had a committee discussion about the word “busy” and tried to expand on what that means. For me, instead of how busy I am with work, I talked about projects happening for the IECPrideStore, how my National IEC Industry Recognition Committee is streamlining National Awards submittals, and how I’m increasing participation with IECRM local events – all challenges I face as a business owner.

The point is, what you find in this association is more than membership; it’s a rewarding endeavor that gives back twice what you put in. I am never too “busy” for IECRM. In fact, to be able to give back, develop, learn, plan, and gain some of the best partnerships/friends is a pleasant distraction from my normal work agenda. These life building blocks would not have happened in my life had I not been an IECRM member. Participation is more than just dues. YOU and everyone in your company is a member of IECRM. Your membership with IECRM can produce emerging leaders, mentors, problem solvers, and most importantly, personal and professional growth.

So, I encourage you to recruit an HR manager, a Field Worker, your Accounting department or maybe the big boss to attend one or more of the upcoming IECRM events. But it doesn’t just stop there. Time is the essence of all things great. Engage, participate, and find your own professional development from the opportunities provided from IECRM, our Committee team, and other members that want to give right back at ya.

I promise it will happen. See you at the FUNctions below!

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.
