Santana Davis - Vice President EESA, addressing the Association Committee and Executive Members
EESA began its journey accepting members from Karnataka. While the current pandemic COVID-19 has impacted our lives largely, it has also brought us all together and inspired the decision to accept members from outside Karnataka , and consequently EESA morphed into becoming a national association.
Felix Remedios - President of EESA comments, “EESA represents the Event Industry Vendor Community. Bonding together under one umbrella on a national platform, helps bring recognition to the industry on a pan-India level, raise technical and safety standards through education and workshops, and exchange dialogs with various Event Management Associations for a better and more professional working relationship which will help raise the bar on the quality of Events in the country”.
Santana Davis - Vice President EESA “Its really sad that we as an Industry in India are not even recognized as a contributing Industry, So the whole purpose of EESA was planned with a vision to bring together companies offering similar services in the Event Industry, so that we can face common problems and pool our resources for the betterment of the industry. With the Vision of EESA going national we shall now be able to represent ourselves to the Government in more efficient manner for any issue affecting this industry now or in future.
Adding further Santana Davis comments, “We would definitely like to work hand in hand with the Event Management industry where both could be complimentary and contributory to each other. We would also thrive to bring unity among rental Industry with Cross Rental Support amongst members, as well as Improve the working conditions of staff.”
EESA is a body which believes in “together we can achieve more” through networking, collaborations, international outlook, so that we can learn from each other and form standardized processes that will help represent ourselves with customers, international bodies, and government for larger benefit.
We are confident we are going to be much more impactful as a national association and progress to become an international association and we look forward to enjoying this togetherness.
