On December 18, 2020, the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) announced the formation of a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) Task Force made up of 20 NECA national staff members, chapter staff, and executives from member companies. Task Force members represent the entire United States, including all 10 NECA districts. Among those selected to join the Task Force was Powering Chicago member Kendra Dinkins, President/CEO of Taylor Electric Company.
Moving forward, Kendra and the other members of the Task Force will work to develop an awareness and education platform to foster a work environment within the electrical industry that supports each person’s unique differences. Task Force members will strive to create a long-term cultural shift, on national and local levels, where each person can thrive and be empowered to contribute to the overall success of our industry.
Among the deliverables the Task Force is expected to deliver are education sessions and training modules, digital resources, surveys, and more to engage NECA members and the entire electrical construction industry on these important topics.
On the formation of the Task Force, NECA CEO David Long said, “Our vision at NECA is to empower lives and communities throughout the United States. In the creation of this task force, we hope to empower each and every person—regardless of background, race, gender, or any other factor—to succeed and be able to grow in our industry. Electrical construction is a truly rewarding career, and we need to join together and ensure this opportunity exists for everybody.”
