Executive Director, Standards and Safety

Note from your editor:

This job is open due to the presumed death of Brooke Stauffer, who admirably performed this job for many years. Brooke was a tremendous asset to NECA and to the electrical industry. Brooke was in a plane piloted by his fiancé, Karen Dodds when it disappeared after leaving Mackinac Island on 24AUG. My dealings with Brooke over the years were overwhelmingly positive and I will truly miss him.
