Electro-Federation Canada (EFC) is now accepting entries for its Industry Recognition Award, recognizing an individual who has influenced the Canadian electrical industry, either as a current or retired industry delegate or as an industry supporter. Deadline for submissions: February 28.
The award has been presented at EFC’s AGM since 2000. Award recipients demonstrate strong leadership through their personal and professional industry involvement and symbolize dedication, balance, and achievement in regional, national and/or Community activities.
A nomination committee, which consists of select EFC members, calls out to members for nominations early each year. The committee acts as a screening panel for nomination entries and selects the recipient based on award criteria.
