Nonmembers--Do You Suffer from FOMO?

by Clara Albert, CAE, Executive Director

Do you have "Fear of Missing Out"?

The Electrical Association has a strong mission and a strong product line that meets the needs of our members. We don't want you to miss out!

Maybe you are a person who thinks you don’t need an association because you can do everything yourself. This is a common attitude among us hearty Midwesterners, and you are right! You wouldn’t own a business if you weren’t a highly capable person:

• You can find your own trainers.
• You can submit your own continuing education paperwork.
• You can find your own content to run safety meetings
• You can monitor the new bills coming out of the MN legislature.
• You can contact your legislators all by yourself.
• You can figure this out….
• You can figure that out….

But there’s another group of people who DO decide to join. Why? A lot of reasons!

Our Mission

Some people join even if they don’t need the above discounts & services. They join anyway because it’s smart to join a trade association, it’s smart to give themselves opportunities to talk shop with their peers, and it feels good to know they are supporting the industry with their dues dollars—maybe this is the group you fall in to.

Our Mission Statement

The Electrical Association provides leadership in partnering between contractors, government, employees, and consumers to promote quality construction built safely, on time on budget, and at a fair price and profit. The Electrical Association also provides a strong commitment to quality in education, communication, government relations and ethics.

Join for the mission, or join for the benefits, but stay for the people. Our memberships have lasting value—and that’s right on the money!

Whichever group you’re in, we get it! Let us know how we can help you.
