What Do You Need from MEA?
by Tony Enger, MEA Chair
As you know, since 1928, the Minnesota Electrical Association has been your partner in running a successful electrical contracting shop. To ensure that this vision is carried out in all of MEA’s projects, MEA conducts strategic planning every few years. One of the main goals that came out of the most recent strategic planning session is for MEA to be your “One Stop” resource for all things in the electrical industry. One of the greatest ways that we are accomplishing this for you is with our Contractor Training Webinars. This library of online videos has been designed to help you with common questions and business clarifications that I and other contractors in the industry have been asking MEA.
You can find this library of videos on MEA’s website. The current library contains webinars on:
• What your employee handbook needs in order to stay in compliance with current rules and regulations
• How to legally discipline employees from a management perspective
• Fair Labor Standards Act Coverage – Salary thresholds
• How to use your AWAIR safety manual
• Property Assessed Clean Energy explanation
• How to properly administer lien process
• State and ASHRAE energy code explanations
• Employment law for supervisors
These webinars are presented by experts in their industry and are available for you to watch and purchase any day, anytime. You can find information on the presenters and seek them out for more details if you are interested. We have additional topics still in the works, and we are excited to debut them soon.
We want to make sure that these webinars fit with your needs and accomplish the association’s goal of being your “One Stop” for all of your needs. If there are additional subjects and topics that you would like us to record and make available, please email Clara at [email protected] and we will try to accommodate.
These webinars are available for MEA members only. Don’t forget to take advantage of them when you are seeking this type of information.
