When the Kansas City Chapter was originally founded, its purposes were to educate electrical contractors, improve the standards of service provided by electrical contractors to the public, assist electrical contractors in dealings with others in the industry, and promote the general welfare of its members.

Today, the fundamental purposes of the Kansas City Chapter are essentially the same.  Labor-Management relations, education, and training are at the forefront of what the Kansas City Chapter is all about.  While primarily engaged in promoting positive labor relations, it also serves to jointly train the best and most productive electrical contractors and electrical/communication workers anywhere—all for the benefit of the consuming public.
