The ELECTRI International Board of Trustees, in partnership with the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), announced the selection of Josh Bone as Executive Director, ELECTRI International, effective October 1. Bone has served as Interim Executive Director of the Foundation since April 2020.

Bone joined NECA in October 2019 as Executive Director of Industry Innovation. In this position, he was responsible for implementing, training and presenting construction technology solutions to electrical contractors nationwide. He continued his work with Industry Innovation while serving as ELECTRI’s Interim Executive Director. Now, he transitions fully to his position with the Foundation.

Bone started his career working with design teams, then transitioned into helping construction professionals leverage technology in both the preconstruction and construction phases. He has had the opportunity to work on hundreds of projects throughout his career, where he has delved deep into the VDC process. He has also shared his knowledge with audiences and publications across North America as a frequent professional speaker, guest editorial contributor and podcaster.
