We need your expertise and opinions as electrical contractors. Whatever size company you work for, we want to hear from you. Whatever kinds of projects you work on, we want to hear from you. You get the idea.
Please start the survey and if you've already started, please go back and spend another few minutes. It means the world to us and to our ability to tell you about the electrical contracting world and where you fit in it.
Click here to begin the survey or to keep going. It takes about 15 minutes, and you can do it in more than one sitting if you need to. The survey is optimized for desktop and laptop computers. The results will be anonymous.
You benefit by:

- For the first 100 who complete this Profile survey, NECA is offering access to a free online course on Project Management. (You don't need to be a NECA member to participate in this benefit.) We'll provide follow-up information on how to claim this offer to those who qualify.
We use your survey answers to capture a snapshot of the industry at the current moment, identify trends, choose article topics that will benefit ECs and help manufacturers understand who uses their products and their needs.
