How ‘Grow. Lead. Compete.’ Exemplifies EFC Membership

March 28, 2025

By Electro-Federation Canada

One key aspect of EFC is our value proposition for members.  Years ago, when we re-branded EFC, our members articulated the reasons why they joined and ‘Grow. Lead. Compete.’  encapsulated the essence of what it means to be a member of our organization. It is not just a slogan; it is the value that engaged EFC members reap as they elevate their organizations and excel within our industry. The secret is to take full advantage of EFC’s membership platform to leverage connections, resources, market insights and industry influence.   

Grow: Strength in Numbers 

One of the greatest advantages of EFC membership is the strength that comes from being part of a united community. Our industry thrives when professionals collaborate, share insights, and champion the collective value of our industry’s contributions. With national events, regional meetings, and industry-specific forums, you’ll have the chance to meet, learn from, and collaborate with other members who share your goals.  

As a member, you have access to exclusive research, industry updates, and professional development opportunities that ensure you stay ahead of the curve. By embracing and promoting the expertise and value our industry offers, members not only advance their individual businesses but also elevate the entire industry. 

Lead: Amplify Your Influence 

Leadership in any industry requires more than just expertise—it requires visibility, advocacy, and a willingness to engage. As a member, you have a voice in directing the future of our industry. Through access to business intelligence, market insights, and opportunities to engage with policymakers, EFC helps members stay ahead of emerging trends. When our members take active roles, they help shape policies, industry standards, and best practices that define the future. By staying informed and involved, you ensure that your business remains competitive and well-positioned for success.  

Compete: Expand Your Reach and Recognition 

In today’s competitive landscape, standing out is essential. Through professional development programs, statistical services, and cutting-edge market intelligence, our members gain access to the tools they need to stay competitive. Networking within EFC expands your professional relationships, helping you reach new clients, partners, and business opportunities. Participation in our events, network meetings, and business section work connects you with a community of like-minded professionals who can help you strengthen your brand, grow your business, and discover innovative solutions.  

Additionally, our member awards and recognition programs celebrate those who go above and beyond in their engagement, providing invaluable credibility and exposure for your achievements. 

This year’s awards will be presented at our annual industry conference in Niagara Falls. We look forward to celebrating and recognizing outstanding individuals with the CEMRA Person of the Year, Trailblazer and Industry Recognition Award (IRA). Deadline for nominations is Monday, March 31.
