ECF is a non-profit trade association, owned entirely by its members.
ECF's primary purpose is to unify and strengthen all segments of
Florida's electrical industry. While some segments have
problems and goals that are unique to their individual discipline, most
segments have many common goals which can reached through communication
and working together. ECF was started in 1961 by a core group of 22
individuals with a goal of unifying the highly fragments industry. ECF
can help promote harmony and cooperation within the Electrical
Industry.
EVEN TODAY, ECF is the only association that has members from every
part of the industry. Because we have a broad range of diverse members,
ECF can interact with the membership and serve as a catalyst when
communications break down between the various groups. ECF can offer a
'safe haven' for dialogue and can work to resolve the problems that
occur from time to time. ECF is committed to encouraging and supporting
education and continuing education for all of its members, large or small. ECF promotes and encourages members to attend FREE continuing education programs and offers classes throughout the year at State meetings to make the 14 hours of CEU training available at no charge.
ECF is sensitive about legislative and regulatory issues and has always
taken a middle of the road position to avoid impacting any segment of
its membership unfairly. When issues develop that harmful to the
industry, ECF is quick to summon support and to work with the elected
officials to provide them with imformation and an explanation of why
what they are proposing is harmful to the industry and its customers.
ECF members can take advantage of several insurance programs
tailored to their specific needs. Members also receive discounts to
local entertainment attractions, can rent cars at reduced rates and
participate in other money saving activities.
