The Electronics Representatives Association (ERA) has announced that it has made a donation to the Special Olympics of Texas in gratitude to all the conference speakers and panelists who participated in the 49th Management and Marketing Conference.
The ERA Conference Committee felt the donation to this organization was fitting and timely as the 2018 Winter Olympics was wrapping up just as the conference was kicking off.
“It is important to give back to the Texas community that has graciously hosted the conference for several years,” said Committee Chair Rick LaPiana of Cain-Forlaw Company. “This tradition of making a contribution replacing the usual presentation of thank you gifts to conference speakers and panelists began in 2016, and ERA is thrilled to be continuing with this tradition.”
The Special Olympics of Texas provides year-round training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community.
