PORTAGE, Mich., June 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NETA – the InterNational Electrical Testing Association – is proud of the work of NETA Accredited Companies, who are supporting the front line response to COVID-19.
Throughout COVID, NETA Accredited Companies and their technicians have been considered essential personnel. The Energy Sector is deemed one of the 16 Critical Infrastructure Sectors identified by the United States Government.

Thank you to all of our NETA Accredited Companies and their staff for all their hard work during these unprecedented times," says Scott Blizard, InterNational Electrical Testing Association President.
