Two Powering Chicago Contractors Inducted into 2020 Academy of Electrical Contracting

NECA has announced the inductees for the 2020 Academy of Electrical Contracting and two Powering Chicago members have been included this year. Eric Nixon of Maron Electric Company and David Witz of Continental Electrical Construction Company were among the inductees this year.

Fellowship in the Academy of Electrical Contracting is one of the highest honors bestowed upon an individual in the electrical industry.

The Academy of Electrical Contracting was established in Philadelphia on October 11, 1968. On that date, the Board of Governors of the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) authorized the addition of Article XI to the NECA Bylaws, thus establishing the Academy to recognize exceptional and outstanding service to the electrical contracting industry. 

The Academy of Electrical Contracting honors outstanding leaders in the electrical contracting industry, and it preserves and utilizes their wealth of experience and knowledge for the benefit of the industry. Fellows of the Academy have rendered exceptional service to the industry and the National Electrical Contractors Association and that service are continued and enhanced through their fellowship in the Academy. This is accomplished through the Academy’s Working Group, special papers presented by Fellows, participation in the Annual Meeting, and the general camaraderie among Fellows.
