"We're thrilled to sponsor the ERA Annual Conference," says Paul Dosser, vice president, business development for Digi-Key Electronics.

"ERA is proud to have Digi-Key as a Benefactor Sponsor for its Virtual Conference," said Walter Tobin, CEO of ERA. "As the world of COVID-19 forced us to shift to a virtual platform, many new and exciting issues presented themselves to our industry. Digi-Key's support as both an ERA member and Benefactor Sponsor and participant will allow us to deliver a great event to our members. Digi-Key has always supported the manufacturers' sales rep model and has established a strong working relationship with them in the field. I am most appreciative of both the support and friendship of Digi-Key at all levels. Both are something ERA treasures and never takes for granted."
