Solano / Napa Trust Joins the ELECTRI Council

The Electrical Contractors Trust of Solano & Napa Counties has joined the ELECTRI Council as a $100,000 Founder.
Trust Chairman Greg Long
In announcing the decision, Trust Chairman Greg Long (Long Electric, Napa, CA) explained, “A major part of our Trust’s mission is to support training programs and to help expand and develop the electrical industry. While our focus is local, it is closely related to that of ELECTRI International on a national basis.

ELECTRI International President, Russ Alessi, had the opportunity to meet with Trust Vice Chairman Jess Zuniga (ZECO Electric Company, Napa, CA) at the 2010 ELECTRI Cross-Border Meeting in Belize. When word of the Trust's commitment arrived at ELECTRI headquarters, the value of that first-hand interaction with ELECTRI International was clear. Long noted, “We have been considering joining ELECTRI International for a while. After Jess attended the Cross Border meeting and shared his positive experience, it gave us that extra push to make the commitment.”
