ECAC and All Worldwide Travel Partnership Renewed

CAPE COD, Mass. - The Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC®) and Eident Sports Marketing announced today that the conference has reached a one-year renewal agreement with All Worldwide Travel. The Official Airline Provider of the ECAC, All Worldwide Travel is a full-service travel agency staffed by travel professionals who specialize in group travel. The company will continue to be the presenting sponsor of the ECAC receptions at NACDA and NCAA Conventions.

All Worldwide Travel understands the college sector and caters its services to the needs of athletic teams. Its differentiators include, but are not limited to, on-going searches for the new lowest fares even after arrangements have been booked, and budget-conscious policies with regard to last minute name changes and cancellations.

"All Worldwide is one of our most loyal partners," said ECAC Commissioner Rudy Keeling. "They continue to provide outstanding service to both the ECAC staff and the membership as a whole."

"In the past five years it has been a true honor to be a sponsor of the ECAC," said Holly Gampa, President of All Worldwide Travel. "Last year AWWT had the opportunity to speak with the administrators, coaches and student athletes as they competed in the fall championships.  As you know AWWT has continued to service the membership in the world of travel, as well as provide networking events during the NCAA and NACDA conventions. However, in this past year we had the experience to interact with all facets of what makes the ECAC a wonderful organization. We are looking forward to our partnership with them."

The ECAC Corporate Partner Program is dedicated to developing relationships with commercial entities that are committed to the mission of the ECAC, support the ideals of intercollegiate athletics, value the pursuit of excellence on and off the field of play, and serve the needs of the membership. The Corporate Partner Program offers a wide range of marketing opportunities, including, but not limited to, championship naming rights, entitlement rights to student-athlete recognition programs, and official supplier designations.
