av-week-2011October 16 officially kicks off InfoComm AV Week 2011. InfoComm members in Utah got a head start on celebrating AV Week this year.
AV Week proclamations were secured from Governor Herbert, Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon, Bluffdale City Mayor Derk Timothy, and Park City Mayor Dana Williams.
Listen Technologies picked the Hearing Loss Association of America and its Walk4Hearing as a charity to support as part of AV Week. On Saturday, October 15, the Listen Trek Team joined about 400 other people to raise money for programs and services for people with hearing loss. The Listen Trek Team raised $1,500 towards its goal of $3,000. Listen Trek was also on hand to be a part of eradicating the stigma associated with hearing loss and raise public awareness about the need for prevention, treatment, and regular screenings throughout life.

For 2011, session musician and Bon Jovi bassist Hugh McDonald served as Honorary Chairperson. Hugh understands that hearing loss is not only a reality of being a professional musician but their performances can also impact their fans and audiences. Hugh McDonald was excited about the opportunity to bring awareness to people of all ages about what resources are available to those with hearing loss and what can be done to prevent hearing loss.
There is a lot more to come this week. Here are just a handful of samples of what members of InfoComm will be doing to celebrate AV Week.
