A celebration for IEC of Utah on January 29, 2009, saw the
installation of new officers and board members, acknowledged
service given, and presented the IEC of Utah Dee Clark Industry
Leadership Award to Jerry Taylor with Taylor Electric.
With over 100 attending, the evening began with refreshments and
networking. Out-going President Larry Clubb called the meeting
to order and thanked the association for the support given to
him over the last two years. He outlined the programs that
