The Benjamin Franklin Chapter is proud to present the 2024 Eastern Section Meeting Code Breakfast Questions. Every year at the section meeting, each day begins with a code breakfast. The crowd gets tied into knots trying to figure out what the NEC requires from ten difficult, maddening, and thoroughly enjoyable code teasers.
Our presenters will be members of the chapter board of directors. These knowledgeable professionals are ready to jump into the NEC rabbit hole and see where it leads. There will be controversy! There will be disagreement! There will be “interpretation!” How can you afford to miss this educational opportunity?

Rest In Peace Ed Perrine
The Benjamin Franklin Chapter is sad to announce that Past President, Past Treasurer, and current Board Member Edward Perrine passed away on July 30, 2024. He was an Air Force Veteran, a Deacon at his church, and an honorary member of our chapter.
Ed Perrine supported the IAEI for over five decades, dedicating time and energy to the benefit of our members throughout his 57-year membership. During that time, he mentored countless peers, led our chapter, managed our finances, and was a friend to all.
Rarely does one meet a man who is so knowledgeable and cordial. Edward epitomized what it meant to be a gentleman. We are saddened to have lost his guidance and friendship. He was a beacon of erudite wisdom in our industry. Ed's absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him.
