IECRM Policy & Advocacy: ‘Engage’ in the process and with your peers

The Colorado Legislature kicked off the 2019 session with a new Governor and new leadership in the House and Senate. To date, more than 200 bills have been introduced including many that impact business operations, labor and employment and specifically the electrical contracting, renewable energy and solar industry.  Even this early in the session, IECRM is active on behalf of the industry: following the sales tax simplification process, engaging with stakeholders regarding HB1035 which would impact electrical inspection fees and are awaiting legislation from the Sunset Review report to continue oversight of the industry by the State Electrical Board.

Colorado businesses must be engaged, comment on issues, offer constructive options, and work diligently to promote sound policy to ensure business success. Business success is the platform for employee success and our state having the resources to meet future needs.

The Government Relations Committee meets twice a month during the legislative session but more importantly, in the process on a regular basis virtually. Join the committee! Even if you cannot attend every meeting, we often ask for letters of support, input and feedback on pending or potential legislation, or to make calls to your local elected representative to share your views on an issue of importance to the electrical industry. Contact IECRM CEO Marilyn Akers Stansbury at [email protected] to learn more about how you can engage, support and give back to the industry.

 

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.
