They said growth was their focus, set goals, and, by their own account, did well.
However, the only place I’ve ‘felt’ their growth (beyond their reports) was with EAGxAmsterdam (attendance was up 36%). But I don’t know how much of that was due to things we did vs what CEA did.
My guess is there really is growth, but it’s not ‘felt’ by people like you and me because of where that growth is happening.
And yeah, they’ve struggled to hire for comms. They’ve admitted this. Last I heard, their hiring team was at full capacity hiring for other functions, so I guess they’re prioritising sorting their core programmes before going hard on comms.
I’ve said it before, but I really do think a General Assembly responsible for holding CEA’s board accountable would help keep everyone up to date with what CEA’s doing.
