The IECRM Summit Awards Recognizes Excellence in the Industry – Nominations Open February 1!

IECRM’s Annual Summit Awards “Call for Nominations” will begin on February 1, 2023. The prestigious awards ceremony, now in its 17th year, recognizes IECRM members for excellence in the Energy, Electrical, and Green Building fields. Make your list now of exciting, challenging, and unique projects completed over the last year; gather project photos, and you’ll be well on your way to Summit Awards recognition in 2023. 

Entering for an award is simple and can return dividends for your company both internally and externally by:

  • Recognizing your team for their hard work = increased pride in the work they do and loyalty to your company
  • Boosting company morale = an increase in productivity and positive attitudes
  • Getting your company’s best practices and achievements into the spotlight = employee and client retention
  • Standing out among the competition = an increase in the likelihood of a new client choosing to do business with your company
  • Giving prospective clients confidence that your company is reputable and quality oriented
  • Getting into a local headline or two = attracting new business

The more awards you apply for, the greater the recognition, and the better your odds of winning! 

IECRM is working on updating and expanding its award categories for 2023. The official categories will be listed when nominations open in February. See an example of last year’s award categories below for an idea of the different types of awards you may be able to submit.

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.
