THE HISTORY OF EASA
HOW DO I PLUG IN WITH EASA
If you were ever wondering what EASA looks like and how to get plugged in, this will get you started.
​
Above is a PDF link to "A Brief History of EASA", but where do I go from there you might ask?
Our Members Keep Industry Moving
The Electrical Apparatus Service Association, Inc. (EASA) is an international trade organization of more than 1,700 electromechanical sales and service firms in nearly 70 countries. Our members sell and service industrial electric motors and related rotating apparatus such as generators, pumps, fans, compressors, gearboxes and blowers. Through our many engineering and educational programs, EASA provides members with a means of keeping up to date on materials, equipment, best practices and state-of-the-art technology.
​
First I would encourage if you are not a member, jump on that right away, there are so many benefits to being a part of EASA like resources, training, tips, regulations help, networking, the international conference with vendor exhibit expo, Roving Chief Executive groups, chapter associations, shop accreditation, and much more.
​
Next connect with your local community through EASA's local area networks. EASA supports 10 Regions comprised of 24 Chapters. Some larger Chapters have optionally created smaller units called Districts. Largely volunteer-driven, Chapters regularly organize training and networking events to engage the local member community.
Our chapter is Mid-Atlantic which is one of two chapters in Region 1. Chapter members elect Regional Directors to represent their interests on EASA's Board of Directors. All EASA Active members must belong to a Chapter.
​
Region 1
Consists of the geographical territories of the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic Chapters This includes the U.S. states of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island, New York, Delaware, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Maryland, as well as portions of Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia. (Note: The Northeastern Chapter was formed from the merger of the Connecticut, New England, New York Metropolitan, Niagara, Quaker City, and Tri-State Chapters which will become Districts of the new chapter.)
​
Our Regional Directors elect the Executive Board Members. Under the CEO and EASA Staff oversee the Association.

Mid Atlantic Chapters very own Brittany Downing from AR&E!
Hello WOE!
My name is Brittany Downing and I’m a member of the Women of EASA (WOE) board. I am also the Operations Manager at Apparatus Repair & Engineering, Inc. (AR&E) in Hagerstown, Maryland. I will “technically” be a third-generation owner of our motor shop (My grandfather and father purchased the company together as co-owners). I love to travel as often as possible and enjoy experiencing new cultures and gaining new friends along the way. I have met some amazing women since being a part of EASA, sometimes related to motor shop chats, other times discussing favorite books or places we have visited. I truly love being a part of this quickly growing, varied group!
1. How long have I been in the industry and how did U get involved?
My father and grandfather bought AR&E in 1992. I spent my childhood in and out of the shop, started with making necklaces from scrap wire, to doing filing and typing. When I was in high school, I worked part-time doing inventory and receptionist work while helping in rewind. Received my college degree in Intercultural Studies, travelled a bit, got married and divorced then came back to the company and have been running the business with my father ever since.
2. What’s the most surprising thing about this industry or your role?
How diversified our customer base is. We will be in sewage treatment plants one day, a super-secret military site the next and the following at a nursing home. Every single one of them is always so appreciative when you help get them out of a jam, no matter their background or what they do for a living. The excitement of helping different people in different walks of life make this industry so exciting for me.
3. What subjects are you open to consulting/sharing advice on to other members?
Running a company as a female / multi-generational person. Being a female in a motor shop world we all know presents its fun and challenges but sometimes adding the factor of working with your family members can add a layer that can be complicated, while a blessing at the same time.
4. What are you most looking forward to with Women of EASA?
Similar to Jan, my father was part of an RCE group that I later joined and enjoy today. I love that we can bounce information and ideas off each other, but I also find myself wishing there was another female voice in the mix. We tend to see things differently and can bring a lot to the table. My hope is that WOE can be the same type of collaborative community where we help each other succeed in business and in life!
5. What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
You don’t have to be an expert at every part of your business. You just hire the people that are the best at their job and let them do their thing. Everyone succeeds.
