International League of Electrical Associations created in 1936, has grown to become an organization of professional electric association and electric league managers from more than 30 US and seven Canadian cities. In most cases the membership base and services offered by ILEA member organizations are consistent throughout the continent.
Generally, ILEA member organizations are supported by electric utilities and offer membership to contractors, manufacturers, distributors and manufacturer's representatives. In a few cases, the organization has a membership that is restricted solely to electric utilities.
Services offered by membership organizations often include monthly meetings, education programs and networking opportunities. Many organizations offer discount programs for items such as health care insurance, general liability and workers compensation coverage, bonding, cellular phone, automobile rental and leasing and courier services.

MISSION STATEMENT The mission of ILEA is to promote, advance and unify the electrical industry by strengthening its representative organizations.
OBJECTIVES • Strengthen & improve communications between member associations: This is accomplished by an ILEA newsletter and email discussions • Successful annual conference: We devote considerable time on the annual conference agenda to discussion between ILEA members, and by providing a venue through which information and ideas are exchanges, and by encouraging all members to attend and share ideas. • Increase the number of electric leagues in the ILEA membership: Through partnering with local utilities and allied trade associations, ILEA members hope to learn about new associations and will encourage those associations to communicate with ILEA with a view to eventually becoming members. • Increase and improve programming: We constantly have open dialogue amongst our membership and periodically conduct membership surveys. ILEA also encourages sharing information on trade shows, educational programming, safety programs, codes, and other services with all of the ILEA membership.
GOVERNANCE Each of the three divisions of ILEA elects a representative to serve a one year term as a Division Governor. The entire membership at the annual meeting elects a President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. The officers, along with the Divisions Governors form the Board of Governors. The Board of Governors meets three times each year. The Spring meeting provides planning time for the annual conference agenda. The other two board meetings take place before and after the annual conference. Bylaws
