Nominations Open this February for the Annual IECRM Summit Awards – A Celebration of Excellence in the Electrical and Renewable Energy Industry!

Nomination Details:

Nominations for the IECRM Summit Awards are set to open in February and will remain open until Monday, March 11, at 11:59 pm. IECRM members are encouraged to submit nominations for projects, innovative ideas, or outstanding individuals who have significantly contributed to the electrical construction and renewable energy industry.

What project, innovative idea, or individual personal best happened over the last year for you, your company, or a team member?

Take a few moments to think about your accomplishments. If you thought, “That’s my project” or “I accomplished this…” it could be worthy of recognition at the 2024 IECRM Summit Awards!

The project award categories are designed to fit projects of all sizes, ensuring that every IECRM member company can compete regardless of scale. The individual categories provide an opportunity to showcase the talent and achievements of exceptional team members, associates, and students.

NEW THIS YEAR! A dedicated focus group worked together to evaluate award categories, nominations, and the judging process, ensuring ongoing relevance and fairness across companies of all sizes. As a result, the Excellence in Electrical Construction Project Awards will now be divided into three distinct categories for judging—small, medium, and large—aligned with company size. This modification aims to create a more equitable platform, enabling a broader range of companies to receive the recognition they rightfully deserve.

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.

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.
