What is your involvement with ECIA and what have you gained from your engagement with the association?
I've been involved with ECIA since 2014, when I joined the Global Industry Practice Committee (GIPC), where I served as a member, and later as chair and co-chair. Today, I serve as a member of the Manufacturers Council. Over these years, I've gained an incredible network of industry peers, a much broader view of the challenges and opportunities facing our industry beyond just my own company's four walls, and genuine friendships that have made the work more meaningful.
