Community Involvement

Giving Back is the Elite Way

Elite’s commitment to testing products for reliability and compliance is part of a commitment to the larger community. Elite recognized from the beginning that the success of a business involves being part of the world outside the lab.

Community involvement comes naturally to Elite

Supporting Education

Elite founder James Klouda made supporting engineering education a priority. The IEEE James C. Klouda Memorial Scholarship was established to aid technical students to become engineers.

Each year, Elite also hosts events and technical presentations in cooperation with the IEEE EMC Society and SAE Chicago chapters to encourage networking and continuous education.
