De
ar Members,
With just a few more months left in the year, EAP is in full swing planning an engaging, valuable, and innovative 2019 membership year ahead. We have some exciting changes coming over the next few months that will well-position EAP for sustained growth.
One of these changes is the increased funding the Educational Foundation Board of Directors approved for the 2019 scholarship year. As a reminder, this benefit is an excellent addition to your company's employee compensation package and only available to members of EAP. Read more about these changes below and keep an eye out for announcements in future issues of EA Extra.
Sincerely,
Sarah Hagy, Executive Director

Thanks to PECO!
Our Electrical Contractor division hosted PECO Night a few weeks ago
 where members from the new business team and metering department discussed various components and compliance measures related to the Electric Service Requirements, or what's commonly referred to as The Blue Book. Contractors were able to ask questions and build their network with this integral industry partner. A special thanks goes to Rob Cochran from Code Inspections who provided a great code update on AFCI protection in Single Family Dwellings.
