Letter from the President

Welcome! I say welcome, because I know after I share with you the benefits of membership, you will join the Express Carriers Association today.

First, let me thank you for your interest in the Express Carriers Association (ECA). ECA continues to grow and offer enhanced member services, thanks to its membership and their support!

The most talked about member benefit is our yearly MarketPlace. Each year at the ECA MarketPlace, carriers, shippers and vendors are brought together to meet face-to-face. Imagine the business opportunity this offers.

Also, as an ECA member, you will have access to our online membership database. In the near future membership renewal will be done through the website (www.expresscarriers.org).

The printed ECA 2008 Service Directory for is available to all members free of charge.

Remember, only ECA members can take advantage of the 13th Annual ECA Marketplace, April 14-16, 2009. This year we will be at the Drake Hotel in Chicago, IL and I know you won't want to miss this unique event. Once we receive your application, it will be forwarded to the ECA Board of Directors for approval. As soon as you are approved, we will send you an acceptance letter and additional information on ECA. Thank you for considering this important investment in ECA and your future.

Cordially,

Stuart Hyden
President
Express Carriers Association
