ECAC Announces a New Partnership with The Zenith Group

CAPE COD, Mass. – The Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC^®) announced today that the conference has reached a one-year agreement with The Zenith Group to help provide ECAC members with travel planning to ECAC championship events. The Zenith Group will work with ECAC member schools to provide discounted hotel rooms at pre-determined ECAC team and individual championship sites.

“We worked with The Zenith Group on a few events last year, and they provided excellent service to our members,” said ECAC Commissioner Rudy Keeling. “It made perfect sense to extend our relationship with them so that more of our member institutions could benefit from these discounted hotel rates and great customer service.”  

“The Zenith Group is extremely pleased and honored to be partnering with ECAC,” said Ken Broadbent, President of The Zenith Group.  “Over the last 18 years, we’ve concentrated on creating working partnerships with non-profit and not-for-profit organizations and institutions, with special emphasis on youth and adult athletic events, and we look forward to working with ECAC and all the participants in upcoming tournaments and championships.”

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.
