Making Workplaces Better

“We have the opportunity every day to make 1,050 organizations across the Northeast
better, to have a better employee experience. We talk about that here — how
we help create exceptional workplaces.”
Looking back, Allison Ebner said she’s had the perfect trajectory to transition into her newest role, as president of the Employers Assoc. of the NorthEast (EANE).
“My background has always been in the third-party services area, working in the staffing industry,” said Ebner, who joined EANE seven years ago. “You get to see so much when you’re in so many different businesses, so many different organizations, across a vari- ety of industries, working with their leadership teams and their human-resource departments.”
Those roles, over the years, included talent agent at FIT Staffing, director of Membership Development at Associated Industries of Massachusetts, and vice president of Sales & Marketing at United Personnel Services.
“So I’ve had the opportunity to get to know so many of the busi- nesses that are members of EANE throughout my career,” she added. “And that’s why it’s really fun to be able to step into this posi- tion and continue some of the relationships I’ve had with HR profes- sionals and CEOs for a number of years.”
Longtime EANE President Meredith Wise recently announced she will be stepping down at the end of June after 28 years with the organization, the last 21 as president.
“I am so proud of our accomplishments and the work we’ve done to continue the 100-plus-year tradition of the association, includ-
ing expanding our footprint to serve employers in Connecticut and Rhode Island as well as all of Massachusetts,” Wise said. “The depth and breadth of our resources and services has grown to meet the ever-changing needs of our members and employers in the region.”
Allison Ebner says EANE’s services have become more important in the wake of recent workforce challenges, from retention to legislative compliance.
