International Association of Electrical Inspectors, George Washington Chapter.

This chapter encompasses Washington, D.C. and most of Maryland.

In addition to general information on IAEI and our chapter, this page will offer you contact numbers, news of forthcoming meetings and seminars, minutes of previous meetings, and links to other electrical safety web sites.

What follows our logo is the brief general description. If you are in great hurry though, you have links to various portions of this site, right below here, as well as a search box..

One point, though. We are a gathering of colleagues serving similar goals. Therefore, I would hope that if you find any problem or error on this site you will take a moment to report it and offer a description that you believe will serve better to convey the correct information.

Biography of Art Hesse, who revived our chapter in the mid-1980s:Art Hesse

Our purpose is to further electrical safety, and in particular to foster electrical education and the uniform application of electrical standards. About a third of us are electrical inspectors, mostly working for local governments, but including quite a few third-party inspectors; the other two-thirds are contractors or their employees, consultants, and representatives of organizations that support IAEI. (The ratio of inspectors to contractors is reversed in our Canadian section; go figure.)

As of Spring 2010, we had sixty-odd local members. We welcome others who might consider joining IAEI. Our meetings are held on the third Tuesday evenings of January, March, May, September, and November. We normally take care of chapter business and then enjoy an educational program. Our other chapter activity is to offer inexpensive seminars. Both generally are accompanied by Continuing Education credits for those current members attending and signing in. In July, 2008, we were officially added to the list of approved Continuing Education providers by the Prince George's County Board of Registration for Master Electricians, Journeyman Electricians, Apprentice Electricians, Electrical Contractors, and Electrical Subcontractors. Here's a link for our current agenda, at which location we also have a link to the extended obituary of Art Hesse, our late godfather. Shortened versions of our meeting minutes are published in the international magazine, IAEI News. The full version of the minutes can be found below
