IECRM Advocacy Update

Please take a moment to view the recording and review the presentation from the Annual IECRM Policy Forum. IECRM and the electrical industry have a great deal on the radar right now that is – or will be – impacting business…from the status of OSHA rulings, deliberations of the PRO ACT, implementation of the federal Infrastructure Bill, debates regarding Solar and EV Charging Station policies, start up of the new State of Colorado Apprenticeship Agency, the agenda of the 2022 Legislative Session and the upcoming midterm elections. 

This month, we have three “asks” as it relates to IECRM’s Advocacy: 

  1. Become a member of the IECRM Government Relations Committee; we advocate for you and YOUR VOICE matters. Join us to decide on legislative positions during the meetings, receive the Action Alerts when we share bills that are introduced in the Colorado Legislature; be notified immediately of asks for industry examples of impact; or for your voice in an email, phone call, or in person committee testimony. Contact [email protected]
  2. Sign up to receive the IEC National news from Capitol Hill. Contact [email protected] 
  3. Donate to the IECRM PAC Fund. As we close out our year of celebrating forty years as an organization, I ask each member to contribute at least $40 in honor of the organization’s successful advocacy all these years. These funds are used to directly support state legislative candidates who support the mission and vision of apprenticeship, small business, skilled trades and the electrical industry.Register to receive your PRIDE PAC APPROVAL

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.
