Change is inevitable. It doesn’t matter if you’re an electrical contractor, supplier, industry association, professional sports team, government, car manufacturer or anything else. Your business won’t be the same tomorrow as it was yesterday. Technologies fade and emerge; people come and go, and it’s the organizations that best navigate the unpredictable nature of the future which stand the test of time.

ECABC is proud of the 70-plus year history we’ve shared with members. One of the many reasons our Hall of Famers are so important is to help remind us of ECABC’s previous evolutions. As we look to the future, we’re asking another segment of our members’ teams – the next generation of British Columbia’s electrical construction leaders – to help the Association plan for the years ahead.

The lifeblood of any association is its members. Ensuring that future leaders continue to see value and remain actively involved in ECABC early in their careers is fundamental to laying the foundation for our next 70 years.

This is where you, or maybe one of your colleagues, comes in.

ECABC is forming an advisory panel of younger professionals currently working in our industry to advise President Matt MacInnis on how the Association can ensure it remains relevant for the newer generation of electrical workers and suppliers.

What does this look like? The advisory panel will meet a few times a year to discuss what is and isn’t working with the Association’s current events and functions from your perspective. You’ll be asked to ensure you’re regularly attending ECABC Chapter Meetings and other functions to help inform your perspectives, and act as a liaison to encourage your peers to participate in ECABC.

What’s in it for you? A strong, ‘future-proof’ association is good for everyone in the industry. It’s also a great, low-effort way to become more formally involved in ECABC, and will provide a window into what a larger role in the Chapter Executive or Board of Directors could look like for you.
