The primary concern of the IAEI is consumer safety. Knowing that mishandling electricity can become extremely dangerous, perhaps even fatal, the IAEI and its members are committed to improving design, installation, inspection, and usage of this energy. Education is one of the best methods for improving safety.
The Rocky Mountain Chapter of the IAEI is an organization devoted to education in the electrical field.
The Chapter holds various educational seminars throughout the year.
Subjects include:
- 1 & 2 Family Dwelling Systems

- Photovoltaics
- Changes to the NEC
- Hazardous Locations
- Code Calculations
- Separately Derived Systems
Its members consist of:
- Electrical inspectors
- Electrical engineers

The Chapter has annual meetings in Denver, Colorado in March. Next year’s annual meeting is March 21 & 22, 2019. The Wyoming Chapter has its annual meeting in May, held in Thermopolis. Both meetings have numerous trade booths, as well as code forum discussions and informative class subjects.
The state legislature has passed a new bill regarding continuing education for electricians!! In the license cycle 2017-2020 you will need to complete 24 hours of continuing education. This requirement began September 30. 2017. You will need a total of 24 hours of CEUs over the next three years. Four of those CEUs must be in Code Changes, the other 20 hours can be in the core areas of your choosing.
