SPARK: Powering Change Throughout the Industry 

IEC Rocky Mountain Team

Sparks are interests or passions that light a fire in a person’s life. Spark expresses the core of who a person is and how they want to engage with the world around them. Sparks bring joy and hope.

IECRM Members, Partners, and Community!

I am sure we are all beginning to feel that “spark” of energy in the air that comes with the arrival of a new season, especially for me in the fall, when football kicks off, holiday planning begins, and the light in the sky begins to shift. 

Beginning next week, we will all feel the SPARK of the IEC National Convention in Louisville. If you are planning to attend, I’ll see you there. Registrants will be receiving an email from me welcoming Colorado members and partners to Louisville. If you are not planning to attend you can still engage. Learn how here…and help us drive home the Volt Wagon! 

While we are away, nominees will be submitting their applications to serve on the elected Board of Directors who are using their spark to further engage in the leadership of the IECRM association. You will be receiving calls and emails from IECRM to VOTE for those who are interested in serving. Please use your ONE VOTE PER COMPANY to select next year’s Board of Directors! This is an important member and partner benefit to select IECRM’s voice in the industry. 

Join us for the annual State of the State of the Industry Dinner on October 26, 2022, for a locally sourced, farm-to-table Colorado evening, meet the candidates and be there to welcome our newly elected Board members. This is a fabulous fall harvest experience with live music, a business-focused keynote speaker, and exciting announcements. Tickets and sponsorship opportunities are here. 

Learn more in this month’s eNEWS and hold the dates for:

  • National Apprenticeship Week: Celebrating IECRM Apprentices! November 14-17, 2022
  • IECRM Annual Holiday Party & Parade of Lights! Saturday, December 3, 2022

As a reminder,  September was Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month. This issue impacts us ALL and is particularly of concern across the construction industry. Please review the videos and resources from these two Forums hosted by IECRM this month. In addition, IEC national and local platinum partner, Milwaukee, provided critical resources to share with our member companies. 

And our gratitude to the 2022 IECRM Industry Partner of the Year, Graybar, for serving our apprentice and member community during the August Back to School Event & EXPO. Enjoy this month’s Spotlight featuring the history of Graybar. 

See you at SPARK next week or at dinner on October 26th to celebrate the season and the year. 

Happy Fall Ya’ll!

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.
