May Issue

 

EDITORIAL

Your opinion counts! That’s the message of our May editorial. SCECA elections for Officers and Board are being held at the May General Meeting. In addition, significant changes in our Constitution and By-laws will be proposed. The above will effect how the Association is run, and in this editor’s opinion, it should be run to support the needs and interests of our members, not the special interests of any one group. Only your attendance and vote on these issues will make sure that your concerns are addressed.

Perhaps the most important input from our Contractor members relates to an issue concerning licensing: We have fielded complaints from our members regarding advertising for electrical work by unlicensed contractors. There is a County bill in the making that would require contractors to include their license number in any advertising. This could help or hurt, depending on your perspective. We need your input before we go forward. Please come to the May General Meeting to express your viewpoint.

For Electrical Safety Week, SCECA First VP John McGinn has provided a Quiz for Kids inserted in this issue. You may wish to duplicate it for relatives, friends, and your customer’s kids.
