NECA’s Academy of Electrical Contracting
October 14, 2026
Join us as we celebrate Fellow Ken Bauwens and his induction into NECA’sAcademy of Electrical Contracting. Authorized in 1968, the “honor … recognizes individuals for their contributions, leadership, and dedication to advancing the electrical contracting industry.”
We couldn’t have said it better. But better is how Ken’s example is emulated across our teams.
Mo and Neil were recipients of what are likely firsts of many milestones. Shown with Gary Shamasko, the duo took stage having graduated the Cohort 9, NECA/ELECTRI Project Management Apprenticeship Program, a 52-week, U.S. Department of Labor-registered program.
Held earlier this month in Las Vegas, NECA’s 2026 Convention and Trade Show, served as fitting showcase to the single ingredient that makes this industry exceptionally phenomenal.
“People.”
Be they ours or yours, let’s celebrate the current that continues electrifying this industry.
Congratulations.
