Our History

The First Convention was called in St. Louis on November 21, 1891. Ten delegates attended, representing 286 members. The adopted name for the organization was the National Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (NBEW). The delegates to that First Convention worked night and day for 7 days drafting the NBEW’s first constitution, laws, ritual, and emblem. The image of a fist grasping lightning bolts is still used as the IBEW logo.
