During a meeting of the NECA Board of Governors on Saturday, September 14, Larry Beltramo, President Rosendin Electric, was elected as NECA President for a two-year term commencing January 1, 2020.

Born and raised in San Jose, Beltramo has spent 47 years in the construction industry with Rosendin Electric, starting as a laborer before completing the electrical apprenticeship in San Mateo, CA. After finishing his apprenticeship, Beltramo worked as a superintendent, project manager and executive VP of operations and was named President/COO in 2005. 

COMPANY INFORMATION

Rosendin Electric was founded in 1919 by Moses Rosendin. In 1991, Rosendin transitioned ownership to an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). The company has grown to become one of the nation’s largest electrical contractors with offices in nine states. It is a commercial/industrial contractor specializing in large, complex projects such as data centers, sports venues, healthcare and renewable energy. Its geographic focus is the west coast, Mid-Atlantic and southwest areas of the country, and its annual volume for 2016 was $2 billion.

INVOLVEMENT WITH NECA
