Cecil Leedy, President
LEW Electrical Services, IEC Florida West Coast 

Cecil Leedy serves as CEO of LEW Electrical Services in Tampa, Florida. He comes from a long line of electricians, including his grandfather and father, and now is joined in the profession by his two sons.

His father started LEW Electrical Services, and Cecil joined the business upon graduating from The Citadel, where he was a scholarship member of the football team. He and his brother took over the business in 1989 and have had their share of ups and downs over the years but have learned a lot in the process. Cecil joined IEC in 1994 and credits the organization for teaching him how to run his business the right way. He has served as chair of the IEC Government Affairs Committee and on the board of directors at chapter level on and off for more than 20 years.

Cecil is very active in government affairs and helped push two bills through the Florida state legislature which Governor Jeb Bush signed into law. He was involved in hiring his chapter’s first lobbyist in Tallahassee, and continues to fight for the merit shop voice at both the local and national levels.

Don joined Northwest Indiana IEC, now Midwest IEC in 2000. He was elected secretary of the Board in 2002 and served in that position until elected President in 2015. While also serving one year as a first-year instructor and remained active in supporting instructors and training program. He played an instrumental role in moving the training center from a 2^nd story meeting room to a 1000 sq. ft. facility in 2017. He lead the Midwest IEC Board to actively pursue and hire first, full-time Executive Director in 2020 and facilitated the move into the new 4500 sq. ft. training center in 2021, with the goal to grow the training program. Don assisted the Executive Director and researched other IEC chapters to plan the new lab facilities that instructors can use to better train apprentices.

Don believes his new position will be able to help reach even more members and help develop the next generation of IEC leaders. IEC, and the electrical industry, is always evolving and moving forward.
