Value Yourself According to a research report from AVIXA, women make on average 79% in wages compared to their male counterparts within the Pro AV space. This number has variations based on working part-time and certifications but one thing is clear- There is a wage gap.

Joining us from AVIXA is Senior Director of Communications Joé Lloyd, Economic Analyst at AVIXA Peter Hansen, Area Sales Manager for Snap One Katharine Wheeler, VP of Marketing & Corporate at AtlasIED Gina Sansivero and AV consultant Kelly Perkins to discuss what it will take to close the gap and make the AV industry a welcoming prospect for everyone.
