Call for Nominations: Leaders Have the Power to Elevate the Canadian Electrical Industry

February 8, 2024

It takes one individual or company to make a difference. Whether they demonstrate strong leadership or a commitment to contributing to the health of the industry, it is important to recognize these individuals to breed success. Nominating an individual for their commitment and successful accomplishments builds the community to grow, lead and compete in an ever-changing world.

Recipients will be honoured at this year’s 2024 Industry Conference in Banff, AB, during the awards gala.

Annually EFC recognizes a select group of leaders of the member community through its Industry Awards program. The annual awards include:

CEMRA Person of the Year | IRA | Trailblazer | Corporate Engagement Excellence
