The Electrical Contractors’ Association of City of Chicago (ECA) 52nd Annual Spring Conference will be held on June 12 - 13, 2024 at The American Club in Kohler, Wisconsin. The American Club is one of the premier resort hotels in the country. It is the only AAA Five Diamond Resort in the Midwest. We’re sure that this is reason enough to attend this Conference. Wednesday night’s reception/dinner meeting will provide you with the latest information regarding industry events. The Thursday morning Business Session will feature a presentation from Mike Breslin called, “People First The Next Evolution of Construction in the Workplace.” This conference is a great opportunity to catch up with what’s going on in this constantly changing industry.

CONFERENCE INFORMATION

Please plan to attend the 2024 Electrical Contractors’ Association 52nd Annual Spring Conference. Listed below is a tentative schedule of events.  

Please be aware that if you confirm for the one night’s stay and then cancel beyond the cut-off date you will be invoiced. The Association has had too many cancellations in the past and is then forced to pay for unoccupied rooms. Also, if you desire a night’s stay prior to or after the Conference, please contact the ECA, as soon as possible. Since rooms are based on availability, the ECA is unable to guarantee any extra date(s).  You will be invoiced for any additional day(s). We remind you that this Conference is intended for the accredited representatives of all Association members. There is no fee to be paid for the golf outing, the meetings or the accommodations at The American Club. We do appreciate your understanding in these matters. We look forward to seeing you at the Electrical Contractors’ Association 52nd Annual Spring Conference.

Mark Breslin Presentation -  “People First The Next Evolution of Construction in the Workplace”

This program is designed for the construction industry and focuses on creating a culture that provides a competitive advantage for performance, commitment, and establishing your organization as a destination employer. It highlights the essential changes required at both an individual and team level, while sharing best practices from top-performing companies across North America. The program addresses the challenges of changing generations, talent shortages, retention strategies, and leadership development. Every member of the organization, from the CEO to the field, plays a crucial role in this evolution, and it requires a shared vision of values, expectations, commitment, and performance.

• Learn about trends and strategies for creating a transformational employment and growth mindset organization.
  
  
• Learn best practices that improve retention, focus talent development, and create your organization as a destination employer.
