T
he International Association of Electrical Inspectors’ mission has al-
ways been about safety. This single mission: “To keep family and
friends safe from the savage bite of electricity” is the foundation of all
of the association’s activities. As the various methods of fulfilling this mission
International Association have evolved, the character of the association has grown to that of a brother-
of Electrical Inspectors hood with a serious business commitment. Through that growth has emerged
three streams: service, publishing, and education. Each stream is focused on

possible.

Education occurs continuously on several levels: training beginning in-

Publishing has proven to be the most effective method of spreading informa-

that have direct relevance to the members to various textbooks, electronic me-
dia, and the website, highly trained and dedicated staff and contributors invest
thousands of hours collecting material, writing, editing, and producing quality
materials that promote electrical safety.
Service is about more than facilitating membership needs. It is about re-
searching solutions to dangerous situations observed by inspectors during their
field inspections. It is about being alert to each new development that would
add to the safety of the public. It is about studying and memorizing the stan-
dards so that we can make fair and impartial judgments. It is about forty
members each spending hundreds of hours serving on code making panels,
reading code proposals and drafting responses to those proposals. It is about
individual members investing valuable personal time in teaching, planning
meetings, answering questions, and helping each other succeed.
For over 83 years, IAEI has quietly done its job. Because of the diligence of
thousands of trained electrical inspectors, the world is a safer place and elec-
tricity is somewhat tamed.
