The weather was fantastic, but the company was even better. We had a room full of veterans, military family members, and supporters with the biggest hearts, all united by gratitude for the sacrifices our military makes to protect our freedoms. A few standout moments made this event unforgettable: ? - We proudly presented Emily Cebulski of Operation Homefront with $13,000 to support their programs just as the holiday season begins. - Our presenting sponsor, Astron Electronics, Inc., and Codi Tennessen who kicked off the evening with an inspiring reminder of just how remarkable the ERA community and the electronics industry truly are. - A huge thank you to Michael McCaig with Luscombe Engineering of Southern California for not only serving as our fantastic MC but also for being our golf coordinator extraordinaire! His dedication and enthusiasm made the tournament run seamlessly and added so much to the experience for everyone involved. We couldn't have done it without you, Michael! - Bob Garcia with QuadRep-Ferrari brought his best “Vanna White” energy dishing out some great raffle prizes. - Walter Tobin (Electronics Representatives Association (ERA), Greg Schweitzer (Heilind Electronics), Doug Johnson ,(O'Donnell South, Inc.) Stephen Birmingham, Matthew and Brittania Yriarte took home first and second place trophies! - Our silent auction items from Savage Suiting and PARTNERSHIP PACKAGING INC made for bidding wars and extra excitement. - Mark Baker and the Friends of DigiKey went above and beyond, providing giveaways for everyone. - Let’s not forget Doug and Connor from the Del Mar Electronic & Manufacturing Show and AEMS- Anaheim Electronic and Manufacturing Show for keeping everyone hydrated……of course that is after Connor’s golf cart “mysteriously” went missing! - The evening’s highlight was Gary Lee Smith, CPMR of G.L. Smith Associates, Inc. receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award for his incredible contributions to ERA. ?

We just wrapped up two incredible days at the AEMS- Anaheim Electronic and Manufacturing Show, where we had the pleasure of connecting with many new faces from across the electronics industry. It was a fantastic opportunity to introduce them to the value that the Electronics Representatives Association (ERA) and the Southern California ERA Chapter bring to this vibrant community. While meeting new friends was exciting, the highlight is always reconnecting with our existing members and industry partners. As we were leaving, someone remarked, "We are all family," and that truly resonated. It perfectly captures the sense of community that makes this industry so special. These memorable days wouldn't have been possible without the hard work and dedication of Doug and Connor — thank you both! Mark your calendars for 2025—we’ll be back for more! Join us at the Del Mar Electronic & Manufacturing Show on April 23-24, 2025, and the AEMS- Anaheim Electronic and Manufacturing Show on September 24, 2025.
