A new ECCA forum rep needed!

[matt1988]

Calling all members of AAEC.

Unfortunately our current rep has had to step down from his role. So we are looking for someone that will primarily air the views of forum members to the committee.


I would also like to add that the new ECCA committee are already moving forward and are expecting to role out a few things in the coming weeks, so we are far more active than it has been previously.

So if you want to be the voice of AAEC then please post here, or send me a private message.

Thanks!

Whats your role in the ECCA Matt ?

Just curious seeing as you have only been a member since March of this year

Can you explain to the forum members like myself what ECCA does ?

It would really be helpful . . .

Why did the current rep quit?

[matt1988]

I am currently the treasurer. I know I haven't been vaping long, however this is something I enjoy and thought I could donate an amount of my time for ECCA.

ECCA currently are looking to be a go to organisation for consumers. We are also going to be putting an amount of effort in fighting the EU and MHRA and generally getting the facts out to people not in the know.

We have gone though a small overhaul recently and since then the new committee are ploughing alot of time and effort looking into ways to make it easier for consumers on a number of levels.

We have a new forum, and a new website soon to go live. As everyone agreed the current one is well, a mess!

Unfortunately I can't say much more at the moment, but I can assure you that things have changed massively behind the scenes and we would welcome anyone who will be able to help.

Now I know most of the views around ECCA are negative, but hopefully in the coming weeks you will be able to see that a new ECCA has been born!

The current forum rep had to step down due to upcoming conflict of interest that he didn't foresee when he accepted/nominated himself for the role.

Thanks for the response

Its nice to have things explained

Maybe regular updates on this forum would be good. . . Just so we all are up to date with what ECCA are doing

So many organisations at the moment. . . .ECITA/ECCA/ETC..... It all gets very confusing

[womble]

I want to declare myself as half interested, but I want to talk to the previous rep before I put myself forward fully.
If you take someone else first, then you do.

CASAA is a great organisation and have managed to get alot of funding too! Now I am unsure what their policies are, but to become a similarly organised organisation is something we are actively trying to achieve!

OK, I've put myself forward, please don't hesitate to put yourself forward just because I have, ECCA and this forum deserve the best, so if that's not me, I'm happy about that.
