Our Journey to an Equitable Future
The diverse voices of our industry inspire us to grow and bring change for the benefit of all that make up the audiovisual world. This includes taking a positive stand for more inclusion and equity for all, through a commitment to go further, push ourselves, and challenge our boundaries to help others on their journey.
As a member-driven association, we are using our talent and resources, as well as that of our industry volunteers to be a voice of change. We know that as the global industry organization, AVIXA must be intentional in acting on these issues and provide resources to affect change across the AV community.
DEI and AV: The Gender Pay Gap in Pro AV
It’s More Than Just Money: What You Need to Know About the Gender Pay Gap in Pro AV
Measuring the pay gap between men and women seems easy at first. What do women earn? What do men earn? Thanks to AVIXA’s extensive compensation and benefits survey in which we collected data from about 2,500 U.S. pro AV professionals, we know that women in our industry earn $70,500 on average, while men earn $89,700.
Why Pronouns Are Important
Asking, knowing, and using someone’s gender pronouns is a positive way to support and respect those around you or those you work with.
DEI Resources
Unconscious Bias Training
Raising awareness of unconscious bias and the steps individuals can take to prevent biased attitudes and behaviors from interfering with workplace decisions and interactions.
