National Employees Benefit Board

2026 National Employees Benefit Board Roster

By collective bargaining in 1946, the electrical contracting industry developed a modest pension plan. A pioneering step in an industry of intermittent and transitory employment patterns, the Employees Benefit Agreement set a national uniform pattern for the industry. The National Employees Benefit Board determines policies and procedures for the administration of the Agreement. It is composed of equal representations of employers and employees. NECA’s President, with the approval of the Executive Committee, appoints the NECA representatives.
