McCormick Systems recently presented a check for $100,000 to ELECTRI International – The Foundation for Electrical Construction. Company president Todd McCormick explained the decision to increase the gift, “We have been involved with ELECTRI International for many years. We’ve seen it grow and we recognize the importance of keeping it strong.” 

 

During the presentation at company headquarters in Chandler, Arizona, Todd McCormick also announced that McCormick Systems Inc. will continue to work with the Foundation to provide estimating software and companion education/training to institutions across the country. Company founder, Jack McCormick noted, “We’ve made an in-kind investment of close to $900,000 by giving colleges and universities access to our software. Students and their professors gain and so do their colleges.”

McCormick’s additional $100,000 cash investment in ELECTRI International will support both the Education Center and the new Transmission & Distribution Enterprise, a dedicated fund within the Research Center that focuses on research and education for line constructors.

 

Acknowledging the McCormick Systems gift, ELECTRI Council chairman Michael Mazzeo (Mazzeo Electric Corporation, NY) stated, “We are honored to recognize McCormick Systems as an ELECTRI International Program Guarantor.  The level of commitment shown by both Jack and Todd McCormick sends an important signal to our contractors and to other industry partners. We are strong. We are vital to our industry. We are moving forward.”
