Membership FAQ

NECA membership is only available to a “person, firm or corporation engaged in the business of ‘electrical contracting’ … defined as the business of erecting, installing, repairing, servicing or maintaining electric wiring, devices or equipment.”

The primary services of the association are for signatory contractors who hire union (IBEW) electricians. Non-union firms may be approved for membership based upon the practice of each local chapter; however, many of our chapters do not accept non-union members. NECA does not offer any specific services for non-union employing contractors, who comprise a small percentage of our membership. Learn more at www.NECAnet.org/Membership »

🦸 Superheroes don’t always wear capes

On August 13-14, the American Line Builders (NECA) welcomed Sweethearts and Heroes to Cincinnati for the Human Connection Summit, bringing outside line electrical contractors together to focus on mental health, human connection, and the human factors that impact our industry.

Over two days, attendees engaged in a powerful keynote, open discussions, Human Factor Circles, and working sessions that fostered honest conversation and meaningful connection. The summit concluded by turning conversation into action, with a discussion on the next steps and how to carry these lessons forward.

Through the 5th Wire Program, Sweethearts & Heroes continues to share an important message with electrical workers. HOPE – Hold On, Possibilities Exist. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who joined and helped make these two days so impactful.

NECA Las Vegas 2026 is coming up fast, and Augmenta is excited to connect with electrical contractors and VDC teams who are in the trenches every day. If you've been curious about what AI-powered conduit routing and coordination looks like inside a Revit workflow, come see ACP 2.0 live in action. Underground and overhead, real-time clash detection against the full 3D background, and an iterative workflow built for the reality of constant design changes: adjust, regenerate, and keep moving.

How many linear feet per hour can your VDC team model by hand? If your answer is about 750 linear ft/hour, that sounds right. It's also the number limiting how many projects your team designs and delivers. Augmenta customers aren't just modeling faster; they're increasing capacity and taking on more work. We'd love to show you how. Come learn more at booth #5103.

👷 Safe jobsites start with a strong safety culture.

August 10–16, we’re joining OSHA in recognizing the people and practices that help make workplaces safer. NECA members know that a strong safety culture goes beyond one week, it’s a commitment carried onto every jobsite and workplace, every day.

Let’s continue building a culture where hazards are identified before they become incidents, and every worker goes home safe.
