Electrical Contractors Section Meeting: 
Thanks to Billows Electric Supply!

We would like to thank our sponsor, Billows Electric Supply, along with their partners, Eaton and Pollart Electrical Sales, for hosting a great Electrical Contractors' Section Meeting this month. The focus of this meeting was receptacles and code compliance given the recent code change. If you missed this meeting, check out David Schick's presentation here.

EAP would also like to extend a special thanks to Stan Altzman from United Inspection Agency who provided attendees with code updates related to the presentation. 

We look forward to hosting next year's contractor meetings!  Stay tuned for more details as they become available.  If you have a specific topic you would like to see discussed, please email us at electric@eap.org.




Update from My Benefit Advisor  

When small to mid-size businesses engage the services of USI's My Benefit Advisor (MBA), it provides access to a full-suite HR solution. Effective HR tools can provide employers with much needed support without the expense of hiring additional HR staff.

MBA has partnered with ThinkHR  to provide live support, training courses, and a comprehensive online library. The hotline number answers calls with a team of HR advisors that can provide useful advice, offer a second opinion, or coach you through urgent issues. The database is continually updated to make sure you have access to the most recent policies, laws, and best practices for quick reference.

Members of EAP have access to the MBA program  as a solution for employee benefits. If you have any questions about the MBA program or their partnership with ThinkHR, which we will offer complimentary to EAP members, contact Jim Pitts at (610) 537-1377.
