Concept A meeting of industry representatives on 29 April 2015 discussed the need to develop and promote our industry and elected a Steering Committee to research and report on the structure and scope of a proposed new body to develop and promote our industry. The Steering Committee: David Green, Ronald Grill, Donald Kay and Clive Pay reported to a second meeting on 25 June and recommended the establishment of a new organisation to focus specifically on the development, promotion and representation of the Adelaide Electronics Industry. The meeting agreed unanimously that the Steering Committee proceed to establish the new body. Formation The Constitution has now been developed and approved. The new entity “Electronics Industry Development Adelaide” (EIDA) now formally exists as an Incorporated Association.
