Over 80 women contractors, employees and staff gathered May 7-9 for the largest WIN Summit to date. Session topics included time and life management, leading in a digital age, workforce development and additional group and networking activities. 

The NECA Future Leaders conference held May 9-11, also with record attendance numbers, hosted a number of topics from career mentoring to IoT and workforce development; attendees also ventured on group tours to visit local contractor, BESCO, Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure and the Nashville JATC. 

NECA President David Long addressed both conferences and tasked attendees to help to solve the current nationwide workforce shortage, which includes recruitment and diversity strategy development plus ways to face the current generational gap.
