ECA 48th Annual Spring Conference

Highlights of the events

The Electrical Contractors’ Association of City of Chicago (ECA) held its 48^th Annual Spring Conference on June 5 - 6, 2019 at the Grand Geneva Resort in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.  Over 80 individuals registered for the event.  The Grand Geneva Resort is set on 1,300 scenic, secluded acres featuring the full-service Grand Geneva Spa and Sport Center – THE WELL.  The golf outing scheduled for Wednesday, June 5, 2019 at the Brute Course was a success, as the weather cooperated with a sunny afternoon.   Wednesday night’s Membership Meeting provided all with the opportunity to catch up with industry updates.  The conference concluded on Thursday morning, June 6^th with an informative presentation facilitated by Ms. Maureen O’Brien, a Business Strategist / Consultant - Global Women's Leadership Forum (GWLF), called, “Diversity & Inclusion:  What Does It Even Mean and What’s the Business Impact?”  We thank everyone that was able to participate with this year’s conference.  We look forward to seeing you next year at The American Club in Kohler, Wisconsin.
