The RGV Chapter was formed more than 38 years ago in the early 1960's.

Years later, the words Association and America was dropped. Our Chapter was Incorporated as a non-profit, tax emempt organization in the early 1980's in Texas as the Rio Grande Valley Chapter of Independent Electrical Contractors Incorporated.(RGV Chapter - IEC Inc.) A few years ago a Texas State IEC organization was formed to help represent the many Texas IEC Chapters at Legislative meetings and to provide common networking channels within Texas.
