What benefits did you receive as a result of your affiliation with the ECAA?

“I think the biggest gain for me is meeting and associating with the people involved in making this association great. In the field we are competitors, but we all share a common goal and that is that we all make a living from this industry and we all want to do what is best for it. The best part for me though is being able to give back to an industry that has provided so much for me and my family. The people involved have all become my friends and I would have never met those friends if I had never got involved. I also like the fact that they all care to leave this association a better place than when they first got here.”

— Bob Maslanko, PEC

“Two of the founding principals in our company have always been continuing education and staying on top of an ever­changing electrical industry. With the ECAA’s various industryspecific courses, seminars, and networking events, we have been able to achieve our goals and build a sustainable electrical contracting business.

One thing came out of our involvement in the ECAA that none of the three owners expected, but has played a vital role in the stability of our company, was the industry relationships we have built and been able to leverage over the 10+ years we’ve been in business. Through networking events such as the president’s ball, the Bob Carson classic, or the ECAA conventions, we have been able to meet and build relationships with the ECAA’s associate members that have helped us to overcome some obstacles in business that we wouldn’t have been able to otherwise. One thing that continues to surprise us is the willingness of people in the industry to lend a helping hand or offer a word of advice if needed.

Through all of the ups and downs that all business owners face, there has been one grounding constant, and that is the ECAA. We couldn’t have gotten to where we are without you.”

— Lonnie Chadwick, PEC, GSC, Power Works Electrical
