Ep. 2 - Ian Andrews and the Electrification of America

In our second episode, Anne sits down with Ian Andrews, NECA’s Executive Director of Field and Industrial Labor Relations, to talk about his journey from NEBF coordinator to national leader. They explore the evolution of fringe benefit reporting, embracing new technology, labor negotiations, mentorship, and the future workforce of the electrical industry. Ian shares thoughtful insights on navigating change, fostering curiosity, and the importance of connection in a geographically spread-out, often-isolating industry. Have feedback or guest ideas?
