National Electrical Contractors Association - NECA NECA is the voice of the $270 billion electrical construction industry. You will need to contact your local chapter to receive a membership application.

NECA has provided over a century of service to the $240 billion electrical construction industry that brings power, light, and communication technology to buildings and communities across the United States. NECA’s national and 118 local chapters advance the industry through advocacy, education, research, and standards development. Membership Begins With Your Local Chapter

We have 118 chapters in the U.S., each serving a specific geographical area. Upon approval by the local chapter, an application for your company’s membership at the national level will be submitted by the local chapter.

Membership FAQ

NECA membership is only available to a “person, firm or corporation engaged in the business of ‘electrical contracting’ … defined as the business of erecting, installing, repairing, servicing or maintaining electric wiring, devices or equipment.”

The primary services of the association are for signatory contractors who hire union (IBEW) electricians. Non-union firms may be approved for membership based upon the practice of each local chapter; however, many of our chapters do not accept non-union members. NECA does not offer any specific services for non-union employing contractors, who comprise a small percentage of our membership. Learn more at www.NECAnet.org/Membership »

Three days in D.C., and a new group of safety leaders is ready to take it back to their companies 🦺

Last week, the NECA Safety Professionals Institute brought new safety pros together to dig into risk management, incident investigation, OSHA inspections, mental health and wellness, and more.

Next up: the Capstone project. Each participant builds a safety program for their own company, so the learning goes straight to the jobsite.

Congrats to everyone who took part, and thank you to the instructors and sponsors who invested in their people.
