AV Week Tip #1
Request an AV Week Proclamation
Let your local officials know that AV Week is October 16-22, 2011. They may issue an AV Week Proclamation which could lead to other opportunities — publicity, speaking invitations, a visit from your local official. Contact them early in the year to allow time for approvals. The AV Week Toolkit is full of resources, including a sample proclamation.

Why I Earned My CTS
"I have been in the telecommunications industry for more than 13 years, so I knew that being RCDD opens doors with opportunities, like providing AV design on projects. However, I wanted to feel like the expert in providing AV design documents too. When I began a major AV design project a little over a year ago, I realized it was time to get my CTS. Another reason I decided to get my CTS is that, working at a MEP consulting engineering firm, we are seeing requirements for A/E teams needing a CTS on board."
~ Heather R. Callaway, RCDD, LEED AP, CTS, OCI Associates Inc.
