OHI, a trade association for the industry, has historically nominated a person closely related to campground electrical issues to represent their interests on the NEC board.
The NEC is responsible for overseeing RV parks, campgrounds, marinas and manufactured homes, making Ciceri's appointment crucial for ensuring the safety of electrical systems in these establishments. Electrical Works, a family-owned electrical contracting company, specializes in designing and constructing new development and rewiring existing electrical systems nationwide in the outdoor hospitality industry.
Ciceri's predecessor, Wade Elliott, founder of Utility Supply Group, served more than a decade on the NEC board before retiring last year. Upon Elliott's announcement, OHI nominated Ciceri to fill the vacant seat.

Ciceri will be representing the Outdoor Hospitality Industry at the RV Industry Association's (RVIA) RVs Move America event in Washington, D.C., where he will also present on the GMI issue to the Campground Association Management Professionals (CAMP) group.
