This installment of The Axis Effect features Haim Attias, Founder & President of Light and Green, Inc. Not only do they act as North America's premier manufacturer of plaster LED architectural lighting fixtures- although it exports to over 80 countries- Light and Green also focuses on delivering its products to be as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible. Impressively, that goal does not affect their production scale, producing over 12,000 units daily. With over 18 years as the President and Electrical Contractor at Alon Energy, Attias's hands-on experience led him perfectly to his current role as he watches Light and Green continue to grow its scale while reducing its costs every day.  Attias discusses his background, how his experiences perfectly fit him into his industry, the importance of leadership, his love of architectural design, and how Light and Green's products contribute to the different locations where they are installed.

Most associations have an internal group that focuses on political advocacy. To learn a bit more about this side of the National Electrical Contractor Association, I asked Marco Giamberardino, NECA Senior Vice President of Government and Public Affairs, if he would spend a few minutes educating us on how he spends his days as an association lobbyist.I met Marco at the NECA convention, so you will hear some of the background sounds of a convention setting. We recorded this in September of 2023 so a few of the topics discussed have resolved in one way or other, but I still wanted to share his thought process and how he views government operations in relation to the construction industry.In addition to lobbying, Marco supervises numerous program areas, including advocacy, political fundraising, communications, marketing, and ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR magazine. Marco has been an active trade association professional and advocacy expert for over 30 years.Marco was recognized as a Top Lobbyist for 2022 by the National Institute for Lobbying & Ethics.

There are governing bodies that develop building codes to dictate how a house is built and what is installed to ensure the safety of homeowners. In addition, the National Electrical Code (US) and the Canadian Electrical Code focus on the safety of electrical installations. Always hire a licensed electrical contractor for any electrical work you're doing in the house. Why? Because they are the experts and can help make sure everything is done safely, to code, and know to pull the needed permits. Do you know where in your house you should have GFCIs? Do you need to replace your knob and tube wiring? An electrician will have the answers. In this podcast episode, I'm joined by Erik Drost, Loyalty Manager, Eaton USA as we talk about Electric Codes vs. building codes, the difference in codes between the US and Canada, and doing electrical work safely. We also talk about how to find a Licensed Electrical Contractor and what the ECCN is. Plus, we have a few shocks and laughs looking at the electrical fails that you've sent in. Tune in to find out all about it.
