"Eastman Kodak Company has found CLIA to be a terrific cruise industry association that is working hard to support the best interests of all its members." - Steven Fendell, Manager, Cruise Industry Sales, Eastman Kodak Company

"Our firm is a Charter Exectuive Partner of CLIA, having joined in 1997 soon after being invited as one of a select group of companies that routinely provide services, products or supplies to the world's leading cruise lines. Although we already handled a high volume of work for most of the member lines, we have always found membership in the trade association invaluable in many ways.

First and foremost, participation in CLIA has elevated our company profile to the highest echelons of cruise line senior management, producing a level of recognition we could not have enjoyed otherwise. Whether attending the annual Leadership Forum with other member companies and networking over emerging industry issues and technologies, or visiting lawmakers on Capitol Hill each year with CLIA lobbyists and cruise line executives, membership has meant exclusive and unparalleled access to the industry's key decision makers.

Apart from the dramatic business promotional benefits, being an Executive Partner has enabled us to be several steps ahead of our competitors in terms of information access and long range planning. At almost every one of the varied functions organized each year solely for CLIA's members, we have acquired information about the latest industry trends and developments. This unique, ongoing dialogue within CLIA gives Executive Partners a much greater understanding of how to better anticipate and serve their clients' needs, bringing about a consistently higher level of customer satisfaction.

CLIA is to be commended for finding creative ways, year after year, to advance the interests of its diverse group of members, including so many different businesses, ports, suppliers and others who work with the cruise lines on a daily basis worldwide. Since the program's inception, an Executive Partner Council, comprised of representatives from the member lines and Executive Partner ranks, conducts regular meetings and holds a seat on CLIA's Board of Directors. This structure ensures the entire program is constantly evaluated and tailored to meet the goals of its members. The association's Web site, Online Directory and Buyers' Guide, monthly and quarterly publications, regular enrichment sessions and industry receptions are some of the tangible benefits of membership. The intangible advantages are probably too many to count." - Larry Kaye, Senior Partner, Kaye, Rose & Partners LLP
