What state is the ECA registered in as a Business League?

EDIT: I meant NJOY when I said Janty. Jack Leadbeater, who is the CEO of NJOY, is also the Chairman of the ECA.

Jack is on the executive board with 2 others. there are also currently 4 other board members.. I am one of those. There are plans for 3 more seats as well.

He is the Chairman of the Board, just like I said before. Dilution doesn't take away from that fact.

Well after 40 minutes on the phone and nothing but elevator music, I'm afraid I've got to get some sleep because I'm working a double tonight. And I've got no long distance plan so it costs me $.25 a minute so that was a $12.00 phone call for nothing. So hopefully you guys will be able to post a link so I can avoid doing this all over again tomorrow.

Boston George, don't you find it a bit irritating that you're backing an organization that is chaired by the CEO of NJOY? The same NJOY whom most reputable suppliers here gripe about they sell overpriced gargabe at the mall kiosks and show no signs of caring one bit about integrity and ethics. That's gotta irk you a little bit knowing that you're paying his legal bills. Why not just stay under the radar as a small scale supplier and let the big barking dogs pay for their own mistakes? We wouldn't have all this attention if it wasn't for those idiots. So wny not let them defend themselves with the huge profits they make? That's what I don't get. Jack wanted all the attention, so why are you footing the bill for the spotlight he ordered?

No ECA money is gong toward a lawyer. Currently all funds are for lobbying the next roll out is going to be PR. No one is funding any one company's private agenda. We are not responsible for their product performance or customer service. Just their marketing claims and other regulations set out by the ECA. A fair and ongoing market place (that the ECA is trying to protect) would through evolution force additional standards onto suppliers by the consumers as market share became more competitive.

All board members sit in equal power the title simply dictates the role they will play on the board. here are the bylaws of the ECA again for your reference.

As I have said before, when I initially went to make a donation on the ECA site, I was discouraged at the list of founders and board members...However, who else really has a concerted interest great enough to make them spend the amount of time, energy and money required for the task at hand? I would also say that the tit for tat comments in this and other threads are not attracting any new supporters and are just a little disturbing.

[nycsublimegirl]

Well in all fairness, when we don't respond we get comments saying we are not responding and that makes us look bad...now below we are responding and we are getting the same feedback...?

[Drewsworld]

I never said not to respond...I was just staing that the tone and content of some responses were not necesarily beneficial to the orginizations integrity...Not to sound like an authority or anything but I have written by laws for 501c orgs and sat on boards and founded more than one charitable org...The 3 Gs of board membership are GET, GIVE or GET OUT...Now I have no experience with a 501c6 org and am not sure exactly what the differences are but it appears that the soul purpose of yours is to change the stigma associated with ecigs and support the ongoing "cause "...Im not sure that the best way to publicly present youself would be to align your board with people that stand to loose or gain large amounts of money from the results of your good deeds...I am not trying to flame you or your org in any way, I guess I am just thinking aloud...I hope the ECA is successful and continues to grow.

Babachoo you have no evidence to any of your claims will you just give it a rest. Obviously we all want to see more of what the ECA is going to do, but your crusade against them is juvenile and pathetic.

The only claim I made in this thread was that Jack Leadbeater was the Chairman of the Board of Directors for the ECA, but that's well known fact. I did however ask a question, for them to make public a link to their filing so we can verify their 501c6 status before donating. How is it juvenile to ignore twits like you and focus on the fact that people who have donated have no proof that the ECA has even been accepted as a not-for profit org yet. They still haven't posted a link, so people are still at extreme risk to donate to an organization which cannot prove its claims as a 501c6. But no need to worry, I'm sure they're working on getting a link and it should be posted soon enough.

Bumping this thread still hoping for a link.
