Women in AV (WAVE) is striving to leave something charitable at the conclusion of the InfoComm 2012 show. “We work in a fast-paced technology industry. We spend a great deal of time and energy at the InfoComm Show in Las Vegas doing business, but we would also like to be good corporate citizens,” said Jennifer Willard, founder of WAVE. “ With all our thanks to FSR president, Jan Sandri, for launching this initiative, WAVE and our industry have the chance to give back in support of a non-profit organisation that addresses the challenges women face in balancing work and family responsibilities,” said Willard. The charity selected is Southern Nevada Children First. This non-profit organization provides safe environments in which youth are supported through mentoring, advocacy, education, counselling and intensive case management. They take in homeless mothers and children, pregnant and parenting youth, and provide housing, education, employment training, parenting and social skills. WAVE is asking for donations equal to what you would pay for a cab ride or the price of a drink. Of course more would be appreciated! www.womeninav.com
