EACA INTREPID AWARD

The Intrepid Award is awarded to the individual, organization or consortium that has the ability to have a sense of what is right and proper and decent in the midst of turmoil. The EACA Intrepid also recognizes the quality of character combining courage and staying power.

In business, and specifically in the trade show business, grace and fortitude under pressure is the capacity to focus attention on the needs of the customer at all times; particularly when the pressure hits.  The Nominating Committee annually reviews nominations made by EACA members and distills the list to four (4) or five (5) finalists.  The finalists are then voted on by the membership and the Intrepid Award Winner is announced at the EACA Annual Conference.



2010 Intrepid Award Winner

David Causton, General Manager McCormick Place, Chicago, IL.

10 Causton solo.jpgDavid Causton, MPEA. David is the General Manager for McCormick Place in Chicago, a job that no one in our industry would envy this past year. In spite of the challenges he faces in response to the very public departure of two major shows from Chicago, David continues to deliver the highest level of customer service for shows that utilize McCormick Place. In addition, he is willing to revolutionize the way that shows are produced there by working with the MPEA Board and the legislature of the state of Illinois to gain greater control over the costs associated with exhibiting by re-defining labor rules and labor costs there. For his tireless efforts to improve value to exhibitors at McCormick Place, Dave is a most deserving
nominee for the Intrepid Award in 2010 .
