Letter From The President

Growing up in the latter part of the baby-boom and having been born of the generation that led the nation and much of the world through the Second World War, I often heard my parents say that the only contract needed from a person of integrity was their good name and handshake. Simply put, a person's word was their bond and you could either take it to the bank or you didn't do business with them.

Conducting business in this manner may seem at first glance a quaint throwback to a simpler time. However, at ECA we believe that, regardless of how many pages the written contract runs to, all work ultimately comes down to that same good name and handshake. It is exactly for this reason that ECA bears my family name. In short, placing that name on our letterhead was my way of extending a handshake to those who we are honored to serve.

We take pride in partnering with our clients to develop forward thinking solutions to address the challenges and opportunities before them today, and those which tomorrow will surely bring. If you are a current client, we wish to take this opportunity to reaffirm just how much we value the trust you have placed in us. And, if you are soon-to-be a client, we look forward to working with you and your organization with the same level of dedication and professional integrity that have become our hallmarks. You can take that to the bank - because you have our word on it.

Erin P. Collins, President
