With a steady annual stream of investment income plus new financial commitments, ELECTRI International has a strong resource base to support its research agenda and other program initiatives.


To ensure the EC industry continues to support ELECTRI, electrical contractors, industry partners, and NECA Chapter executives volunteer as member of the Development and Engagement Committee (DEC).

This Committee helps build the resources vital to the growth of the ELECTRI International Investment Fund by enlisting new members to the ELECTRI Council and encouraging current Council members to increase their financial investment in the Foundation.

The DEC works hard to ensure Council members receive maximum value from their investment including their continued participation in ELECTRI initiatives.
