MESSAGE FROM THE PAST PRESIDENT OF THE ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION OF ALBERTA SCOTT HUTTON

Congratulations on 60 years representing the electrical industry in Alberta.

Highline Electrical Constructors has been a proud member of the ECAA since 1992. I was introduced to the organization shortly thereafter when my predecessor Don Hansen invited me to a meeting. Soon after the chapter meetings, I was fortunate enough to attend various social events with my peers and spouse. The approach that Don took was that you need to give something back to the industry that you make your living from. This resonated with me as well and because of that type of attitude, Highline has continued to be involved with the ECAA over these years.

We have had the opportunity to have several employees serve on the Calgary Chapter Executive, Central Chapter Executive, as well as the Edmonton Chapter Executive. Highline employees have also represented the ECAA on both Alberta provincial and local apprenticeship committees (PAC and LAC) and have represented ECAA’s Open

Shop Committee on the Executive Board. Through all this time, we have supported the initiatives of the ECAA and continue to support the attitude that what we do is for the good of the entire industry. We have also enjoyed the many opportunities to enjoy social activities and experience good times and company with our peers from the industry, many which have become close friends. The highlight of my participation in the ECAA was when I was approached to serve on the Provincial Board which culminated with a wonderful AGM at the JW Marriott in 2022. I will treasure that experience and look fondly upon it when I see the wonderful family picture that was presented to me for my services.

I recommend that all those who make a living from this industry get involved and show your support for our industry.

I look forward to your continued success and development and shall celebrate those accomplishments with you for years to come. n
