The NC Chapter is also involved in a national education program for schoolchildren called “I Am Safety Smart”, where IAEI members educate our next generation about electrical safety. The first session in the Southeast was conducted in the Raleigh area. This program gives electrical industry members a chance to give back to the community, and give kids the opportunity to consider a career in electrical safety. Go to the NC IAEI website for more information: www.nciaei.org.

NC IAEI members include electrical and building inspectors, electrical contractors, engineers, utility engineers, testing laboratory inspectors and technicians, electrical equipment and component manufacturing specialists and more. The NC IAEI regularly submits code change proposals, and is one of the most active chapters in the Southeast. Many proposals from the NC Chapter end up becoming NEC Code.
