Recognition of NEMRA’s commitment to advancing the electrical channel
NEMRA is proud to announce that President Jim Johnson was honored at NECA 2025 in Chicago with the 2025 NECA Industry Partner Award.
This award recognizes organizations or individuals allied with the electrical construction industry whose decisions, actions, and collaboration with the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) contribute to the overall success of the industry. Receiving this recognition at one of the industry’s premier events highlights the value of strong partnerships and the importance of advancing the electrical channel together.
Jim accepted the award on behalf of NEMRA’s thousands of manufacturer representatives, emphasizing their vital role as strategic partners across the supply chain. The recognition underscores NEMRA’s ongoing mission to elevate the rep’s role, foster collaboration, and ensure measurable impact across the industry.
Looking ahead, NEMRA remains committed to:
Elevating the role of the rep as a strategic partner.
Expanding and modernizing the workforce through targeted attraction and development.
Increasing project efficiency through stronger alignment across the supply chain.
Driving technology adoption that empowers members to respond faster and more strategically.
Building a unified voice in policy discussions that shape the future of our industry.
As Jim noted in his remarks, “Our collective future depends on collaboration, not competition.”
NEMRA extends its gratitude to NECA for this honor, and to the representatives and manufacturers who live and support its mission every day. Together, we continue to demonstrate that collaboration strengthens the entire industry — and as Jim reminded us, when we build together, we all rise.
