NAEC National Association of Elevator Contractors Convention part 1

NAEC is an association of elevator businesses serving primarily the interests of independent elevator contractors and suppliers of products and services and promoting safe and reliable elevator, escalator and short-range transportation and promoting excellence in the management of member companies.

Once a year there is a convention, this year it is in Boston which I am currently at.  Over this few days I will post some pictures and information about the convention.  Some of the good things the NAEC is working on is a safety program for independent contractors as well helping develop a MCP[Maintenance Control Plan].  In attendance there are independent elevator contractors, elevator equipment and service providers and professional elevator service providers [consultants].

[Setting up for the convention]

I'm looking forward to meeting face to face with may people we deal with on a daily basis on the phone and over email.

Tonight was the Presidents reception and the EESF party.  EESF unveiled their new safety rider program for schools to promote conveyance riding safety.

Tomorrow is a key note address by economist Alan Beaulieu, general business session,contractor member session and round table discussions.  We get to talk to other elevator contractors who do the same thing we do across the country.  We get to see existing relationships as well as developed new ones.
