With residential spaces more central to people’s lives than ever before, CEDIA is in a great position to foster continued industry growth for our valued members. My sincere gratitude goes to Jamie, Michael, Alex, and Rob and the entire board for joining me as we work with our new CEO to take CEDIA to the next level.”
