ECA February 2020 Membership Meeting

The Electrical Contractors’ Association of City of Chicago (ECA) held its February Membership meeting on Wednesday, February 12, 2020 at the Union League Club of Chicago.  The meeting was highlighted by a member milestone and a presentation by the Chicago Department of Buildings Commissioner.  President Jamerson congratulated Shamrock Electric Company, Inc, for recently celebrating 50 years as a NECA member.  Mr. Kevin O’Shea, Shamrock Electric Company, Inc. was on hand to receive the special recognition!  President Jamerson introduced the guest speaker, Ms. Judy Frydland, City of Chicago Department of Buildings Commissioner.  Commissioner Frydland thanked all present, as well as the full ECA membership, representatives of Local Union #134, IBEW for their combined efforts to help reinstate the Chicago Electric Commission back in 2015.  The Electric Commission played an integral part in securing an updated Electric Code, as well as the recent Chicago Building Code updates.  Commissioner Frydland commented that the number of permits issued in 2019 was a record year; 2020 was already on pace to equal or surpass that milestone.  She was proud to announce that a number of new inspectors have been hired by the Department.  The Department continues to look forward in best servicing the needs of all contractors.  She was met with a round of applause at the conclusion of her presentation.  The Association thanks Shamrock for their many years of dedicated service, as well as Commissioner Frydland’s continued service to the industry!
