PLATINUM PARTNER SPOTLIGHT: CED: Consolidated Electrical Distributors, Inc.

Focus on Customers – One Customer at a Time

About…

CED is one of the nation’s largest electrical wholesale distribution networks with over 700 locations in 49 states. Zach Wilbern, CED’s Denver District and PC Manager, leads CED’s partnership with IECRM through support at the Platinum Partner level. 

This year, Zach is celebrating his 20th anniversary with CED. He started as an intern while attending Colorado State University. Today he is responsible for all CED Denver metro locations.

CED’s Culture…

“It’s about the local customer,” says Zach. “Sometimes a big national company with hundreds of locations can lose sight of that, but at CED, we don’t.” CED is proud of its core values of service, integrity, and reliability. “Every day, our team works at each of these,” he says. “And every day we aspire to do even better tomorrow.”

According to Zach, “CED believes in doing our job the right way,” he says. “We focus on how to provide reliable service to our customers, vendors, and employees with the utmost integrity.”

“CED is very fortunate to have an active, strong IEC chapter in our backyard,” Zach says. “We are grateful to be able to support an organization like IECRM that shares our core values and helps train our future customers.”

Favorite part of your job?

“My favorite part of my job is building relationships with our customer partners, vendors partners, and best-in-class team members,” says Zach. “We also thrive on taking on the challenging projects and finding solutions to make our customers’ jobs a little easier.”

Words of wisdom or inspiration for others?

“Make service, integrity, and reliability the driving forces of who you serve,” concludes Zach. “You can’t go wrong by doing that!”

 

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.
