2013 IEC National Convention

Electrician training costs

The IEC convention was well attended by 32 Cincinnati members and staff in Portland, Oregon last week and concluded on Saturday evening with the Presidents Awards Gala. I am pleased to announce that Jake Gray won first place in the prestigious “Apprentice of the Year” competition. Jake
worked hard in the three day competition testing his skills with the very best electricians from around the country. Congratulations to Jake and his employer, Denier Electric for a job well done!

Our chapter won the “Chapter of the Year” award for the tenth year in a row! Congratulations to all of the Cincinnati IEC members. Our success is because of your involvement at IEC.
