US Senator Kelly Loeffler Kicks Off IEC Atlanta Luncheons

Senator Loeffler was greeted by Executive Director, Niel Dawson, IEC Atlanta Board President, Bob Harmon of Harmon Electric and Associate Executive Director Todd Hawkins for a tour of IEC’s 10,000 square foot training facility. Senator Loeffler received a first- hand view of IEC’s detailed lab set up, designed to give its apprentices hands-on training. From touring the building, Senator Loeffler went on to address 30 business owners and managers. IEC Contractors members came out to show their support and to hear the Senator speak on the concerns that affect the industry, their business and how the Senator supports the merit shop contractor.
