Electrical Association Newsletters


The Electrical Association mails one newsletter in alternating months. The Electrical Association News is the official publication of the Electrical Association. It is the only statewide publication that provides the latest information, legislation, safety and business-related issues for the electrical industry. It is distributed 6 times during the year to approximately 2700 electrical contractors, technology systems contractors, and industry leaders across the state (nonmembers receive a redacted version).
