Where did we come from?

EORA began in 1979 by a handful of diligent representatives based up and down the east coast. The association was incorporated in New York as one of the founding figures had an office in the same building as an attorney. Back then, we had less than 50 members and one part time staff member.

Today the association boasts over 440 members, two full time professional staff members, and produces eight regional trade shows annually that service over 1,900 retailers.
