Carpenter, CEO/Executive Director
What is the IAEI all about? To me the IAEI’s primary concern is safety! It insists on electrical safety wherever electricity is used. It insists on electrical safety for installers, industry workers, owners, and for future generations.

The IAEI educational programs are another way we strive for electrical safety. The IAEI has seminars and materials for training in a variety of different subjects.
