About Carrie

Carrie has served on the ECA board since 2002 and served as President since 2006. During this time, the ECA has embarked on its most ambitious growth plans to date. Carrie has led the ECA to a new look (logo and website), several technology advancements, led the ECA to an outside management company (Drohan Management Group), and oversaw record growth among the countless other accomplishments to better serve our members and contribute to the growth of our industry. Carrie was involved with many other organizations by serving on advisory boards, speaking on various subjects and taking part in many round table discussions at industry conferences over the years.

More important than her accomplishments to the ECA was Carrie's dedication to her family, friends and associates and to the many volunteer programs in which she participated or lead. Carrie was always the first to volunteer, had a deep passion to help others, and will be missed by all of us that had the pleasure to meet or work with her over the years.

As we grieve and mourn her sudden death, the ECA Board of Directors will continue to march forward and carry out the plans of the Association and the board directives through which Carrie has led us over the last several years. Updates to the membership will be forthcoming from the Board as it assumes the task of filling the huge void left with the loss of our President and friend, Carrie Ehlers.
