NJECA (FLECTCHER/MOTTA-ALTERNATE SHADE)
Last month was the annual meeting, with a decent turnout. There weren’t any by law
changes or voted upon at this meeting. Lisa Laven, from our lobbyist office, gave a brief
report on some of the new prevailing wage legislations that have been proposed, all of
which we, NJECA, oppose. The membership voted upon, and approved the formation of
a coalition to fight some of the new prevailing wage legislation; we will be working with
MSEIA on this. It was also voted upon to open dialogue with the solar community about
he recent Board of Examiners’ ruling that solar panels must be handled and installed by
licensed electrical contractors. NJECA membership felt it was a good idea to befriend
the solar community on this issue, rather than oppose them.
NOMINATING (FUSCO/FLETCHER/MOTTA)
The secretary position is till open. If anyone is interested, please contact a member of
this committee.
