Who We Are
The Eastern European Success Alliance of America was established to address a clear need: Eastern European immigrants in New York were building businesses, creating jobs, and enriching communities — but lacked a unified voice and support system. EESAA was founded to change that.
Over two decades, we have grown from a small networking group into one of New York's most respected immigrant business chambers, representing entrepreneurs from across Eastern Europe and beyond.
