The 2020 Summit Awards: The show must go on!

Each year IECRM recognizes excellence in the electrical construction and green building fields with its prestigious awards ceremony and banquet. The 2020 IECRM Summit Awards was destined for change! The planning for this celebration was well underway when we were all thrown a curve-ball with the COVID-19 pandemic and so it is highly likely that we will be pivoting to an online, fun-filled Summit Awards event Thursday, August 13th.

There’s plenty of time to enter your project or nominate a company or individual for an award! The nominations deadline has been extended to Tuesday, June 30, giving you additional time to craft the perfect submission!

Special timing this year — you can apply for an IECRM Summit Award and an IEC National Award at the same time. The award categories are aligned in order to save you time on your submission. Visit ieci.org/iec-awards to learn about and apply for IEC National Awards.

Now more than ever, it is important to recognize excellence in our industry and celebrate the dedication and hard work of our essential employees. Whether we are able to come together as a large group of more than 200 at our new venue or if we will come together virtually, the show must go on!

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.
