The National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) is the voice of the $225 billion electrical construction industry that brings power, light and communication technology to buildings and communities across the U.S.
NECA traces its origins to the birth of modern electricity. In 1901, a group of electrical contractors met at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, NY, where a major display of electric power had been installed. These contractors joined together to foster trade and reform abuses within their fledgling industry. Today, NECA continues their work, building on a legacy of protecting the public and making innovation possible.
Members
Electrical contractors perform specialized construction work related to the design, installation, and maintenance of electrical systems. Whether high-voltage power transmission or low-voltage lighting, electrical contractors ensure these systems work in a safe, effective, and environmentally-sound manner.
NECA represents a diverse group of nearly 4,000 member companies account for approximately 300 million manhours per year. They are comprised of electrical contractors from firms of all sizes performing a range of services. While most NECA contractors qualify as small businesses, many large, multinational companies are also members of the association.
Organization
NECA’s national office in Washington, D.C., four regional offices, and 118 local chapters across the country work to advance the electrical contracting industry through advocacy, education, research, and standards development. NECA chapters are independently chartered organizations who work with national field representatives to develop effective labor agreements and market initiatives.

It pays to work union. Far more than “having a job,” being an IBEW electrician means having a career with a great wage, health insurance, pension, and opportunity for advancement. All without the often crippling burden of college tuition debt.
When you join the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, you also benefit from the brotherhood and strong sense of “community” that has been an IBEW tradition for more than 125 years.
