Letter from IECRM CEO, Marilyn Akers Stansbury

IECRM Members, Partners, and Community – 

This month’s eNEWS edition is titled the Commencement Issue. Upon reflection, “Summer Reading” might have been a better descriptor as there is a great deal of great content to share with you this month. So read this email now, print or bookmark it for later reference while you are enjoying a beautiful Colorado sunrise or sunset this summer. 

Let’s jump right into the pool! 

IECRM recently graduated its largest class ever. While these 247 new alumni jammed to their class song choice, Metallica’s “Ride the Lightning,” friends and families from all over the world were there to watch in person and online. This year’s graduates were also greeted by a special message from Colorado Governor Jared Polis.

While we are recognizing our graduates, let’s also take a moment to recognize our teams and our other emerging leaders. The IEC call for award nominations is open and the deadline is July 15th. Take a moment to shine a light on the projects and people that make your company happen and also nominate an emerging leader for the IECRM Emerging Leaders program. Read about one of our previous Emerging Leaders and his experience in the industry.

Just like the list of concerts, campgrounds, and street festivals you plan to attend this summer, mark your calendars for IECRM’s Summer Line-Up! 

The Annual Clay Shoot is next Friday, June 17, at Colorado Clays. REGISTER NOW as an individual or with a team. Let’s start this summer season with a bang….and 100 pigeons! 

Other upcoming events and happenings! 

Please also take note of important legal, labor & employment, and safety topics you need to know! 

Watch the recap of the June 8th IECRM Member Forum titled “Updates and Rebates” for the latest news on the new Whistleblower requirements (PHEW), new documentation requirements for employee separations – effective now mandated through SB22-234, upcoming FAMLI payroll tax requirements, and OSHA’s Heat Safety requirements. Also join IECRM’s Safety Forum session via zoom on Wednesday, June 22 at 7:30 a.m. for important tips to beat the heat!

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.
