SUMMARY:Membership Meeting: Limited Energy Outlook - Jeff Beavers (NECA National)
DESCRIPTION:Power Hour Roundtable 3-4pm: An informal\, open-discussion session held one hour before our Membership Meeting. This is not a presentation…it’s a conversation. Enjoy an open bar\, open dialogue\, and the opportunity to connect with industry peers\, exchange perspectives\, and learn from one another in a relaxed setting. Facilitated by Laurie Calzada\, this session will focus on leadership and culture\, including: \n\nStrengthening emotional intelligence to improve communication\, collaboration\, and team performance\nBuilding a culture of accountability and engagement\nLeading through change and uncertainty\nDeveloping leaders at every level of the organization\n\nAll members are welcome. \nMembership Meeting 4:30pm | Jeff Beavers (NECA) \n \n  \nWire\, Maintain\, Secure: The New Electrical Contractor Playbook \nThe buildings you’ve already wired are your next revenue stream. Most contractors aren’t collecting. \nYou’ll leave with a practical scorecard\, a four-phase implementation roadmap\, and three actions you can start this quarter. \nCommercial and industrial facilities are getting more connected\, more regulated\, and more dependent on qualified electrical contractors — not just to build\, but to maintain\, monitor\, and certify. The contractors who make that shift will own the best work in this market. The ones who don’t will compete on price for whoever’s left. \nThis session breaks down four forces that are redrawing the competitive landscape right now: \nRecurring revenue is real and available. Service agreements and preventive maintenance contracts generate higher margins and longer customer relationships than project work. The capability gap between contractors who have built this and those who haven’t is closing fast. \nData changes the conversation. IoT monitoring\, predictive analytics\, and digital reporting let you deliver value between projects — and charge for it. Contractors who can show measurable outcomes between site visits don’t get rebid. They get renewed. \nNFPA 70B 2023 is not a recommendation anymore. The revision turns electrical equipment maintenance into a documented compliance obligation. Facility managers have to do it. Only qualified contractors can deliver it. That’s a protected revenue category — if you have the credentials. \nCyber posture is the new EMR score. The same way a bad safety record locks you out of bids\, an undocumented cybersecurity posture is now disqualifying you from connected facilities\, enterprise campuses\, and OT environments — often before you know you’re being evaluated. \nRegistrations as of 9/1/2026 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrandon Vatterott\nADL Communications\n\n\nLonnie D Somers\nADL Communications\n\n\nTom Prade\nAmerican Electric & Data\n\n\nJanice Maitland\nArchKey Solutions\n\n\nJesse Thurber\nArchKey Solutions\n\n\nJoe Young\nArchKey Solutions\n\n\nJohn Lembeck\nArchKey Solutions\n\n\nJon Brown\nArchKey Solutions\n\n\nKristen Law\nArchKey Solutions\n\n\nPaige Brogan\nArchkey Solutions\n\n\nTim Culleton\nArchkey Solutions\n\n\nTom Broderick\nAuthorized Electric\n\n\nJerry Dorhauer\, Sr.\nBell Electrical Contractors\n\n\nMarion Hayes\nBRK Electrical\n\n\nJason Burris\nBurris Electric\n\n\nBecky Austermann\nGuarantee Electrical Company\n\n\nDavid Gralike\nGuarantee Electrical Company\n\n\nGrant Gralike\nGuarantee Electrical Company\n\n\nJacob Wieneke\nGuarantee Electrical Company\n\n\nMark Riley\nGuarantee Electrical Company\n\n\nMike Seger\nGuarantee Electrical Company\n\n\nMel Snyder\nHanenkamp Electric\n\n\nTerry Brogan\nHonorary Member\n\n\nBradley Bathe\nJ Bathe Electric Co\n\n\nMelanie Ilgenfritz\nJ Bathe Electric Co\n\n\nCourtney Lumpkins\nJ West Electric\n\n\nSabrina Westfall\nJ West Electric\n\n\nChad Boeving\nJ.F.
