WAVIT, #GALSNGEAR partner to promote inclusion

March 15, 2023

Women in AV/IT, a nonprofit devoted to advancing diversity, equity and inclusion in the digital signage and pro AV fields, has partnered with nonprofit #GALSNGEAR, a movement to bring parity to women in media and entertainment, according to a press release.

The non-financial partnership involves collaboration on DEI content and events, STEM recruitment efforts and more.

"During our initial meeting, we quickly saw a host of synergies between WAVIT and #GALSNGEAR," Gina Sansivero, founder and president of WAVIT and VP of marketing and communications at AtlasIED, said in the release. "We are going to work together to get more women a seat at the table — in the control room and in the board room — through cross-promoting events, developing DEI content, STEM recruitment and other initiatives."

"We've made progress, but there is more work to be done. Through our programs, we make sure women are visible at key industry events, but also get access to the leadership skills and networking opportunities that propel their careers," Amy DeLouise, founder of #GALSNGEAR and chief creative officer at DeLouise Enterprises, said in the release.

The partnership will launch with WAVIT supporting the #GALSNGEAR Women's Leadership Summit in Las Vegas this April.
