In a first-of-its-kind event, the Presidents and CEOs of the four major supply chain associations signed a memorandum of understanding to create a collaborative effort aimed at developing the electrical industry of the future.
NAED’s President and CEO Wes Smith, along with NEMA’s Debra Phillips, NECA’s David Long, and NEMRA’s Jim Johnson signed the agreement at the end of a panel discussion at the recent NAED National Meeting in Austin, Texas. Rich Stinson, NEMA Board President and President and CEO of Southwire, moderated the panel discussion, titled “Project Spotlight: Cross Industry Collaboration”.
The new collaboration laid out three objectives that the associations will work toward, including:
- Reducing project cycle time across target industries
- Attract, develop, and retain the people necessary to support and sustain the electrical industry
- Lay the foundation for grid expansion well into the next century
Watch the entire panel discussion for yourself to learn more about the collaboration effort and how you can be involved.
