What is your involvement with ECIA and what have you gained from your engagement with the association?
I am honored to say that I chaired ECIA’s “Bucking Normal” Executive Conference in 2022, the first in-person conference after the Covid pandemic. Today, I remain active in Executive Conference planning on the core committee and speaker vetting committee. I also serve on the Manufacturer Council and ECIA Foundation. My continued engagement has unlocked the true “power of association” for me. Beyond the obvious networking opportunities, the exclusive resources available to me through ECIA allows me (and Crouzet) to maintain a competitive edge.
