IEC’s National Meetings & Conferences are Like Potato Chips…

You Can’t Attend Just One!

What we mean by this ridiculous statement is that the power of attending professional association meetings isn’t one and done. The true value of these association meeting and events is going many times, for months and months or years and years.

In this day and age of the Internet, you may believe that access to industry information online can and does replace the live, in-person conference or meeting. The truth is, these events and meetings are more important than ever. Each year, IEC National holds a number of events, meetings, and information exchange opportunities that bring value to the membership experience.

The human-to-human connections that occur, the serendipitous “hallway conversations” that often happen, in addition to the tours, breakout sessions, and influencer dialog experiences help attendees discuss topics on a deeper, more personal level and provide a professional experience that becomes irreplaceable. It’s the people you meet, network with and learn from who bring the ROI to your time – and your business – at an IEC National event.

Here are a few key IEC National events coming up to consider attending in 2019:

Make Your Voice Heard! Join the IEC Legislative Fly-in

IEC members will gather in Washington, D.C., May 22-23 for the Legislative Fly-In. This conference will cover important topics in today’s ever-changing political environment, access to IEC’s signature networking events, and visits to Capitol Hill to visit with your representatives and voice IEC’s opinions on critical issues.

All business owners, managers, chapter staff, and industry leaders can benefit from the Legislative Fly-In. This event will provide a better understanding of the current legislative environment and policies. With so much uncertainty, this event will help you position yourself and your business on the road to success.

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.
