Member Benefits

One Membership. Two Powerful Networks.

Membership in the Wisconsin Chapter of NECA connects your company to both local, hands on support and the full resources of the National Electrical Contractors Association. Together, they provide the tools, advocacy, education, and connections electrical contractors need to stay competitive, compliant, and future focused.

What Your NECA Membership Delivers

Education & Workforce Development

Build stronger leaders, supervisors, and project teams.

At the Wisconsin Chapter level, members have access to in person and regionally focused education, including technical seminars, project management, estimating, safety training, and chapter conferences such as the Winter and Summer Meetings. Locally delivered programs are designed to address Wisconsin specific market conditions and labor environments.

Nationally, NECA provides management education, online learning, business insight, and technical resources that support contractors at every stage of growth—from emerging leaders to senior executives.

Local + National impact: Practical, workforce ready training backed by national expertise and industry research.

Advocacy & Industry Representation

A strong voice—locally, statewide, and nationally.

NECA membership ensures contractors are represented before Federal and State legislators, regulatory agencies, and industry stakeholders. The Wisconsin Chapter works closely with members’ state-level issues, while NECA National represents the industry in Washington, D.C. on matters affecting electrical contractors nationwide.

Through this dual advocacy structure, members stay informed, engaged, and prepared to respond to regulatory and legislative changes that impact on their business. Advocacy is on both sides of the political spectrum.

Labor Relations & Employer Support

Expert guidance in a complex labor environment.

The Wisconsin Chapter provides direct labor relations services, including collective bargaining support, contract administration, grievance handling, and coordination with IBEW local unions. These services are a cornerstone of chapter value and are tailored to Wisconsin’s labor landscape.

At the national level, NECA supports progressive labor management practices and provides resources that promote productive employer employee relationships across the industry.

Safety, Compliance & Risk Management

Protect your people and your projects.

NECA equips contractors with safety manuals, training programs, and technical guidance to help maintain safe jobsites and comply with OSHA and industry standards. Both the Wisconsin Chapter and NECA National emphasize practical tools that can be applied directly in the field.

Business & Market Development

Support growth in a changing marketplace.

From Wisconsin based peer networking to national business development resources, NECA membership helps contractors maintain and grow market share. Members benefit from business education, strategic tools, and resources designed to position NECA contractors as leaders in electrical construction and evolving energy solutions.

Events, Networking & Peer Connections

Relationships that move your business forward.

Wisconsin NECA members gain access to local chapter meetings, conferences, affinity groups, and peer engagement opportunities, fostering strong relationships across the state. Nationally, NECA connects members through major conventions, industry events, and nationwide peer networks, providing unmatched opportunities to share ideas and best practices.

Tools, Resources & Member Discounts

Real savings. Real solutions.

NECA delivers some of the industry’s most trusted technical guides, digital tools, and business resources, along with access to member only discounts and services that help reduce costs and improve productivity. Wisconsin members automatically receive these national benefits as part of their chapter membership.

NECA members also receive a complimentary subscription to Electrical Contractor Magazine—a leading industry publication that helps contractors stay current on code and safety updates, market trends, new products/technology, and business best practices.

Pension & Trusts

NECA members participate in the National Electrical Benefit Fund and the Wisconsin Electrical Employees Benefit Fund—multi‑employer benefit plans that help provide retirement security for IBEW electrical workers. Wisconsin NECA members serve on these boards of trustees alongside IBEW representatives to provide joint oversight, protect plan integrity, and ensure the funds are managed responsibly for the long term. Some divisions also participate in additional locally administered trusts.

Join Wisconsin NECA and strengthen your business at every level.
