Description:

If you have ever considered becoming involved in the Building Controls market attending this session is a must. This four hour session will feature two NECA contractors from two very different markets and regions of the United States sharing their experiences entering into a very lucrative market. The discussion will include some of the success stories, but more importantly the stumbling blocks that they encountered while moving into a market that is not as different from traditional electrical work as you might think. Some of the topics discussed will include training, marketing, personnel, cost and return on investment, and a 5 year plan with realistic goals.

Each participant of this session, which will be moderated by the NJATC, will receive a copy of the NJATC's new textbook, Building Automation: Control Devices and Applications.

 

Fee: $110 for 4 hours

To avoid any confusion or problems at the state level, NECA strongly recommends you check with your state authority prior to the Convention to find out whether they will grant CEUs for management education programs held at NECA 2008 San Fancisco.
