I am interested in joining the AVIXA Women's Council in the US. I submitted the interest form on Dec 15, 2022, but have not heard back and there is not much info on the main site. Does anyone have any info on the AVIXA Women's Council and how to be involved?
I am the dedicated Audio Visual Systems Engineer charged with managing Conference Spaces, Zoom, Large Meetings/Events, and Conferences (virtual and otherwise). I addition to that I am the former chair for the Women of Avalara (WoA), where I got to tap into my ability to connect with people and help create an environment where we can all bring our best selves to work. It is a pleasure to bring valuable programming to our members and advocate for our community. I am also a new mother, still adjusting to life as a full time worker in a new emotional space. Looking forward to connecting with others and being a part of the AV community.

@Megan Kuhman , @Tammy Fuqua , can you connect with @Cathy Richards-Ingram and help her join the Women's Council?! Cathy, thanks for reaching out and kudos to your accomplishments, including keeping your AV connections active and expanding while being a new mom!
Thank you @Lisa Matthews, CTS for getting me to the right place. I currently work in a team of 1 as part of a larger Engineering org, which can be isolating. I have found great community through our women's ERG, however I am missing the AV team dynamic from being able to bounce ideas around, talk AV trends, learn new skills, keep the old skills fresh, experiment and fail, and hear others experiences in environments that I may not be familiar with. So, I thought the women's council would be the ideal place to find the right community, connect with other women in AV, and continue the expansion of women in tech. Looking forward to what is next.
That's fantastic, @Cathy Richards-Ingram! I'm sure you'll enjoy connecting with the dynamic members of the Women's Council. I hope our Xchange community is a welcome source of personal and professional camaraderie!
@Cathy Richards-Ingram ,
I apologize that you haven't heard anything from us since you applied. I really appreciate you reaching out again because we would love to have you on the Council. I will follow up with you directly to make sure you get everything on your calendar and are added to the AVIXA Women's Council group here on the Xchange.
Just so you know we have a few things coming up:
We have a session at ISE in Barcelona
We have a virtual all council meeting on Monday, February 6 at 2:00 pm ET (which you'll get a meeting invite for)
We are supporting International Women's Day on March 8 with a few virtual/hybrid events that you can join from anywhere you are.
I'll reach out to you offline from the Xchange and we will get you up and running with the council.
Thank you so much @Megan Kuhman. I look forward to connecting with you and to contributing to the community as best I can.
