DENVER, Colorado — May 31, 2013 — In a world where increasing your social network is just a ‘like’, ‘join’, or ‘follow’ away, there’s something to be said for traditional, face-to-face networking. Fans of the popular Energy Industry Happy Hour know this well — about once a month, the Independent Electrical Contractors Rocky Mountain (IECRM) hosts a free networking event for electrical and energy industry professionals who support merit-shop ideals. In 2013, IECRM held three Energy Industry Happy Hours in downtown Denver, north Denver, and in downtown Boulder.

This year’s Energy Industry Happy Hours have attracted a large mix of electrical contractors, renewable energy companies, energy and electrical suppliers and distributors, construction staffing companies, and other types of businesses that compete in the local energy market.

“There’s nothing like a strong, sincere handshake to get a conversation going,” said Kristin Kim Haynes, Director of Operations for IECRM. “Our contractors, general contractors, and industry businesses always make time in their busy week to show support, which, in turn, develops their business relationships. We’re expecting to sell out another one of our events, the GC Forum: Money Matters!”

The next major networking event for the energy and construction industries is the GC Forum: Money Matters, a dinner and panel discussion featuring five key general contractors: DTP, GE Johnson Construction Company, Gilmore Construction, Kiewit Colorado, and PCL Construction. The five panelists will discuss bidding, estimates and the trickle-down effect (partnerships, products, purchasing, etc.), collections, and other hot topics. The GC Forum is co-hosted by IECRM and the Hispanic Contractors of Colorado (HCC), and will take place on the evening of Thursday, June 20th, at The Tailgate Roadhouse in downtown Denver. Tickets for the GC Forum are $45-$55 and can be purchased online: https://iecrm.org/events/2013-gc-forum-money-matters/

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.

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.
