Despite a dramatic drop in COVID cases and the end of mobility restrictions, office use in the US remains muted. Business executives are tasked with maintaining a strong organizational culture, promoting collaboration amongst staff and maximizing work productivity while acknowledging employees desire for greater flexibility to choose where they work. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, this session will discuss best practices for determining the right workplace experience and policies, as well as how to best implement and manage these changes. 

Speakers: Brad Wilner, Executive Vice President CBRE and Manny Fitzgerald, Executive Vice President CBRE


ECIA Publishes Guidance for NC/NR Industry Practices

The ECIA Councils assigned the GIPC (Global Industry Practices Committee) to review the NC/NR document published by NEDA in 2002. A work group was formed composed of distributors, manufacturers, and manufacturers’ representatives.

It is their intent to help clarify the use of the NC/NR process in the electronic component authorized channel by publishing updated industry guidelines and communicating these best practices to the industry, both ECIA members and non-members. Read the full press release.
