New Member Category and Website Features
by Alex Hyatt
National Sales Manager
November is an exciting month for the Electrical Association. We have a new membership category for electrical contractors and enhanced website features, making it easier than ever for new members to join and for our current members to renew their dues online.
One-Person Shops
The Electrical Association is pleased to announce a new membership category for One-Person Shops. Those holding an electrical contractor’s license and operating as sole proprietors can now become members and pay annual dues at the same rate as an Associate/Individual membership.
For just $195 per year, One-Person Shops receive access to our newsletters, Member Alerts, Government Action Alerts, and discounts on training, products and services. Member also receive a free Wage and Benefit Report (must respond to survey), All-Industry Directory, AWAIR Manual and access to Electrical Toolbox Talks. Most importantly, as a dues-paying member of the only association in Minnesota that specifically represents electrical contractors, your contribution as a member gives us strength in numbers to ensure that the voice of electrical contractors is heard on legislative or regulatory issues that impact the industry. Please note that the One-Person Shop category does not include 8 hours of free continuing education per year, and is not open to current members or shops that have been members within the last three years.
New Members – Join Online
It’s now easier than ever to become a member and join online! Go to www.electricalassociation.com and select > Membership > Join Now
You will then be prompted to log in to your account (if you do not have an account, you will need to create one), select your membership category and dues level, and proceed to checkout to pay. You even have the option to setup annual, reoccurring payments for your next renewal.
Current Members – Renew Online
For current members who no longer wish to receive mailed statements and pay by check, you also have the option to renew online with a one-time payment, or setup an automatic renewal with reoccurring annual payments. Simply log in to your account and access your account settings near the top of the screen next to the shopping cart. Once you’ve accessed your account settings, you will see a button on the left-hand side of the screen (below your name and company), prompting you to “Renew Now.”
We encourage all one-person shops to join the Electrical Association and help keep our industry strong. Go online today to join now. Current members, we hope you will find the new online features helpful when renewing your dues next time around.
