Description

Forget rankings. We asked AV companies to tell us what makes them great and picked the 60 that stood out. These AV integrators represent the heart and soul of the pro AV industry–small- to medium-size companies doing $1 million to $30 million a year and working in a breadth of vertical markets. A handful say they focus primarily on corporate projects, but overall their specialties vary. TSI Engineered Systems, for example, says its primary specialty is sports and entertainment. MW Audio serves the financial market in particular. And both Boston Light & Sound and ACIR Professional say they're big in the performing arts. We've peppered this listing with select pieces of advice or insight from several of the companies featured. All are worthy of the PRO AV 60. [...] Audio Visual Resources Williston Park, N.Y., www.avres.com What's Your Best Advice for Succeeding in Pro AV? "You can never beat the economics of doing the job right the first time. This entails the orchestrated and synchronous convergence of well trained, equipped, and motivated AV specialists; all the required product; and all the necessary information to "do AV." This happens only with a well documented Quality Management System."--Audio Visual Resources http://www.proavmagazine.com/industry-news.asp?sectionID=0&articleID=1093405 AVR Vice President Lorrie Morrow and Executive Assistant Irene Sasso join Female Audio Visual Executives (FAVE) June 18, 2009 AVR encourages support for the newly formed organization, and the balance and improvement its promotion promises to bring to the industry. “FAVE aims to encourage young women to go into the AV field as a career, to offer them scholarships, and to provide networking opportunities and continuing education for more seasoned AV professionals.” For more information, or to join, see www.faveinternational.org . Mario J. Maltese, CTS-D, CTS-I, CEO of AVR comments, “I welcome, encourage, and fully support the mission of FAVE. From the perspective of a veteran of the industry of 40 years, a business owner, educator, and student of the human systems that form the processes that makes up any company, this is a worthy quest. “I have been fortunate to observe the positive results when women have assumed both the official and unofficial leadership positions in a company, and have always felt that a 50-50 population of male and females is a preferable mix from the standpoint of organizational health and resiliency. “I honestly believe that many of the ills companies suffer today can be helped in part by the natural skill sets women professionals bring to the table. Yet firstly they have to be at the table, and secondly must be positioned to exert their influence and leadership. Working with their male counterparts can be both daunting and inhibiting at times. It is hoped that the strength in networking that FAVE can provide can facilitate this, and provide the education and communications needed for both subcultures.”
