The site navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move across top level links and expand / close menus in sub levels. Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.

Adopt-a-School Program

The NECA Adopt-a-School Program is designed to give back to local communities by providing support to area schools that are in need of additional resources.

Through this program, NECA Chapters and members can team up with a local school in need by providing equipment, supplies or volunteering time to enhance the students’ educational experience while promoting the industry and building a strong relationship with the school and community.
