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

February 14, 2025

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 our community to grow, lead and compete in an ever-changing world.

Recipients will be honoured at this year’s 2025 Industry Conference in Niagara Falls, ON, during the awards gala.
