The National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) traces its origins to the birth of modern electricity. In 1901, a group of electrical contractors met at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, NY, where a major display of electric power had been installed. These contractors joined together to foster trade and reform abuses within their fledgling industry. Today, NECA continues their work, building on a legacy of protecting the public and making innovation possible.
NECA contractors set the standard for traditional and integrated electrical systems and lead the industry in the practical application of new technologies.
