CAPE COD, Mass. – The Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC®) and Eident Sports Marketing announced today that the conference has reached a three-year agreement with CHA Sports.

With this new partnership, CHA Sports is a presenting sponsor of the ECAC’s annual Convention and Trade Show through 2012. As part of the agreement, CHA Sports will host the offsite membership reception over the next three years which is traditionally held at Tugboats in Hyannis, Massachusetts.

The ECAC is confident that this long-term contract with CHA Sports will benefit both their company and our membership greatly.”
"We're delighted," said Ray Rudolph, head of CHA Sports, "to support ECAC's mission. Having worked with more than 50 schools in the Conference as they planned and designed facilities, we've developed a real partnership with the ECAC. It's a partnership that helped us build a strong national practice and one we value highly and will always honor. We've been with you for years and plan on staying with you."
