BRANCH UPDATE Ben Shaw NECA TAS Member Manager
Welcome to the June issue of NECA News. With 2022 now well and truly underway and the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic behind us, NECA members in Tasmania are busier than ever. I am truly amazed and inspired by our members’ commitment, resilience and willingness to support each other.
NECA 2022 Industry Nights Once again, we’ve had great success with our Industry Nights! We kicked off our Industry Night Series in March, visiting Launceston, Devonport and Hobart. With over 500 electrical contractors attending, what an incredible week it was! Due to the valuable content delivered, Consumer, Building and Occupational Services (CBOS) qualified NECA’s 2022 Industry Nights for four continuing professional development (CPD) points. Over the three nights we heard about: ½

Keep an eye out for more information on NECA Industry Night dates and upcoming educational webinars for the latter half of 2022. We are in planning mode for an exciting new schedule that you won’t want to miss.
NECA member meeting NECA recently held its first virtual members-only meeting. It was great to meet NECA members and discuss industry-related issues that affect their businesses. In the meeting, attendees were introduced to their State Member Manager, with discussion revolving around the support and resources available for members. If you missed the meeting, you can watch the recording on our Technical Knowledge Base. We received such great feedback after the session, that this has inspired our team to continue hosting these quarterly meetings. Keep an eye on your inbox for your members-only invitation.

Whether you’re a large or small contractor, there is something for everyone at these events. At a time when CPD is becoming increasingly important, NECA membership has so much to offer. NECA makes it so easy to stay on top of your obligations.”
