Capital Region Electric Club to Become the Alberta Electrical Alliance's Edmonton Region

Calgary, AB: The Alberta Electrical Alliance (AEA) proudly announces that the Capital Region Electric Club (CREC) will become the Alberta Electric Alliance’s Edmonton Region. The shift will take place over the next few months, with CREC’s evolution to become the AEA’s Edmonton Region being finalized by January 2020.

“This move just makes sense,” says Shaq Bitar, CREC President, “CREC members will have access to more industry discounts and members will pay one membership fee instead of two. Like the AEA’s Calgary Region, the AEA’s Edmonton Region will have its own Regional Board of Directors responsible for organizing and executing events to fund local scholarships and bursaries. At CREC, we recognized that the Alberta Electrical Alliance is on an exciting path and we wanted to join them on it.”

This news comes right on the heels of the AEA’s name change, announced mid-September. Along with the name change, the AEA also announced their continuing commitment to the electrical industry and their members, exciting new initiatives and an elevated social media presence. The AEA is gaining fresh momentum and the CREC merger is a timely addition.

“The timing couldn’t be better for CREC to join us as the AEA’s Edmonton Region,” says Tara Ternes, Alberta Electrical Alliance Executive Director, “With our history of working and collaborating with each other, we’re old friends and know that we work well together. This only stands to strengthen the AEA as an organization and benefit a greater membership.”

Until January 2020, details for upcoming CREC events can be found at crec.ca.
