EAOF Hosts Largest Annual Event Ever in Cape Canaveral

The Elevator Association of Florida (EAOF) hosted its largest-ever Annual General Meeting (AGM) and golf tournament in Cape Canaveral, Florida, on December 8-9 featuring education, networking and fundraising. On December 8, approximately 120 golfers gathered at the Space Coast Golf Club, while the AGM took place at the Hampton Inn & Suites Cape Canaveral Cruise Port on December 9, drawing more than 70 elevator industry professionals. EAOF President Michael Loeffler of VDA, Inc., said the event was the association’s “largest and most successful” to date. The golf tournament raised both awareness and funds for the EAOF and Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation (EESF), and the AGM included presentations by Sean Madden of Elevator Strategic Hub on strategic planning and Alberto Altamiranda on technical training, along with presenters from Wurtec, L&L Solutions and Nidec. During the AGM, EOAF elected new board leadership, which, in addition to President Loeffler, include Vice President Ryan Coley, Treasurer Nathan Hall and Secretary Chris Strawn.
