IECRM Experts in Cybersecurity Conducted Eye-Opening Seminar In Observation of National Cyber Security Awareness Month

National Cyber Security Awareness Month, observed in October, was started by the National Cyber Security Division within the Department of Homeland Security and the nonprofit National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA). The initiative raises awareness about the importance of cybersecurity, reaching out to all Americans, public and private sector partners, and the international community about cyber threats.

Closer to home, and in keeping with Halloween, IECRM held a cybersecurity best-practices and tips seminar for staying safe online on October 4th.  As CEO Marilyn Stansbury says, “Just when you thought ghosts and goblins were scary… imagine how scary it is to get hacked??”

Seminar participants heard about how to avoid spooky scammers and sneaky spoofers. The panel shared truly terrifying real-life tales of fraud, scams, identity theft, and breaches, including in the construction industry, and learned about tools to avoid these threats in both professional and personal situations.

The seminar featured IECRM member panelists, all experts in the cybersecurity field:

  Danielle Urban, Fisher & Phillips

  Rick Raesz, RCOM Computer Services 

  Corky Kyle, LegalShield & IDShield

  Meghan Ambron, Colorado State Bank & Trust’s Treasury Services Team

  Herb Phelps, Network Insurance Services

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.
