Western Pennsylvania Chapter, NECA

A helpful reminder for all #leaders, especially those in the #construction industry that have their hands in all aspects of the business. You MUST make time to work ON your company, not just IN it! #BeNEXT

Western Pennsylvania Chapter, NECA had a great education session last week with our friends at 3M and KPA to learn about #technology and market #trends that will affect the #construction industry and #electricalcontractors in the coming decade! Pruthvish Shah from 3M’s Electrical Markets division discussed the future of sensored cabling and monitoring solutions for cable systems and distribution networks. Shawn Smith from KPA focused on the future of more proactive, accessible, and effective health and safety training culture to prevent accidents and jobsite injuries. The WPA NECA Industry Advancement Council’s Tech & Market Trends Committee hosts this Information Exchange series to give our contractors insight about trends coming around the corner and to facilitate discussion about how we can be ready as an industry. Thank you Mark Maskas (3M) and Chris Coghlan (KPA) for bringing us your best experts to make this event possible! #IAC Tech & Market Trends Committee: -John Java (Hatzel & Buehler, Inc) -Christopher Mikec (Lighthouse Electric Company, Inc.) -Victor Yates (Ferry Electric Company) -Dave Gilbert (Mare Solutions Inc) -Jarrett Colosimo (Dagostino Electronic Services, Inc.) -Steve Malinak (Schultheis Electric, a Division of TSB Inc. ) -Rick Miller (Miller Electric Construction, Inc.) #WePowerPA #IndustryAdvancementCouncil #futureleaders
