The Electrical Association of Rochester (EAR) is an organization whose primary purpose is to educate the community on the safe and efficient use of electricity and technology as well as to promote the common interests of the electrical industry in the exchange of information.
EAR was founded in August, 1924 "by a group of local manufacturers, jobbers, contractors, dealers and Rochester Gas & Electric Corporation officials for the specific purpose of promoting the electrical business in general in Rochester and the vicinity and also in order to develop wider use for electricity and electrical equipment". [Source: Rochester Evening Journal and The Post Express, November 10, 1933]. That mission is still true today...over 84 years later. The organization sponsors educational classes and training programs, the Construction & Maintenance Division, social events, an annual luncheon in honor of Thomas Edison, a scholarship program, a contractor referral program, group medical coverage for members and their employees, a tri-annual trade show, an industry newsletter, and a web site to keep current with all EAR has to offer.

 | As a pioneer, the International Association of Electrical Inspectors plays a strong leadership role in the electrical industry and its many organizations and associations. Because of its reputation for fairness and code-compliance, the association has long been labeled the Keystone of the Electrical Industry. Like the keystone, the association plays a cohesive role among testing agencies, standards organizations, manufacturers, distributors, and contractors. Since 1928, the IAEI has brought unbiased focus to interpreting the National Electrical Code and teaching safe installation and use of electricity.
