Exclusive Discounts with Industry Partners

Save through IEC Oregon’s local partnerships and IEC National’s network of industry partners. Members gain access to discounts and opportunities that add real value — including Home Depot Pro, which can deliver annual savings of $754 or more.

IEC Oregon administers apprenticeship training programs across the state, preparing the next generation of skilled electricians in the trades and regions our members serve:

  • Inside Electrical and Limited Residential — Salem, the Willamette Valley, and south of Portland
  • Limited Energy Class A and Class B — Portland metro area
  • Inside Electrical — Deschutes County / Bend
  • Inside Electrical — Douglas County / Roseburg


Each program combines classroom instruction with on-the-job training, giving apprentices the skills, licensing, and experience to build a lasting career in the electrical trade.

When you join IEC Oregon, you automatically become a member of IEC National — connecting your business to a nationwide network of merit shop electrical contractors and the benefits that come with it:

  • National events that move your business forward. Members gain access to premier industry gatherings, including the IEC Policy Conference, where contractors help shape the legislation and regulations affecting the trade, and the Business Summit, where owners and leaders sharpen the strategies that drive growth.
  • Spark Convention. IEC National’s annual convention brings the industry together for hands-on education, the latest tools and technology, competitions, and the connections that come from being in the room with contractors from across the country.
  • IEC Forums. Exchange best practices with non-competing contractors in other regions — a candid, no-competition environment to compare notes, solve problems, and learn what’s working for businesses like yours.
  • Exclusive member discounts. Save on the things your business uses every day — shipping, technology and equipment, and Home Depot Pro exclusive rebates that put real savings back into your bottom line.
  • Webinars and industry resources. Stay ahead of the fast-paced changes reshaping the electrical industry, with on-demand webinars and resources that keep you and your team current on the latest codes, technologies, and trends.

When the rules that govern your business are on the line, IEC Oregon is at the table. We are dedicated to protecting fair, open competition for merit shop contractors — with two advocacy teams working on your behalf at the state and national levels:

  • In Salem, we’re your voice. Our Oregon team, including our dedicated lobbyist, tracks the legislation and BCD regulations that affect how you do business — and we actively seek input from our members so the positions we take reflect the priorities of the contractors we serve.
  • In Washington, we defend the merit shop. The IEC National team champions the merit shop philosophy on the national and state issues shaping the trade, from codes and standards to legislative and regulatory affairs to industry outreach.

The standards that define our industry don’t write themselves — merit shop contractors help shape them. Through IEC National’s Codes and Standards Committee, our members have a direct hand in the codes that govern electrical work nationwide:

  • IEC places two representatives on each of the 19 NFPA panels that develop the National Electrical Code (NEC) — and several IEC Oregon members serve on these code panels themselves.
  • We collaborate with the International Association of Electrical Inspectors (IAEI) and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) to keep standards practical, safe, and current.


When you join IEC Oregon, you’re backing the merit shop business — and strengthening the future of the entire electrical industry.
