Workspaces is a web application that allows for the collaboration between NEMA staff and members. The sites are security trimmed so that only
authenticated, approved users will have access to a section,
committee's, etc. documents. It allows you to upload documents, create tasks, plan and schedule meetings, discuss projects, and much more. Below you will find a quick walkthrough of Workspaces’ more prominent features. For technical assistance, please contact the NEMA Webmaster at webmaster@nema.org or by phone at (703) 841 3255.

access to, then contact NEMA staff to get the proper access. This may
be due to the fact you are not in the nemalink list.
