The Institute is an educational program whose objective is to establish consistent application of electrical construction standards and practices to promote uniformity and public safety.
As in previous years, this year’s event will feature an Electrical Code Workshop that consists of a panel of North Carolina and nationally recognized Code experts responding to questions submitted from interested parties throughout the State. The panel is moderated by the staff of the State Electrical Division of NCDOI/OSFM. Regularly check back for confirmed panelists and updates!
