MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Season's Greetings!
This year, ESFI and The Home Depot have launched the Make Safety a Tradition campaign to increase electrical safety awareness during the holiday season. However, our commitment to electrical safety does not end once the holidays are over.
The new year offers each of us an opportunity to make important changes that can have a positive impact on our lives and the people around us. Now that the holidays are here, I encourage you to make a conscious commitment to creating an electrically-safe environment - both at work and at home - in the year ahead. Best wishes for a safe and happy holiday season!
