That's a point I was wondering why nobody was
commenting on. Some of you may remember an article
about Cedia in the early days. The VP was being
interviewed and he made the comment that " if
you go to a store and they don't have a cedia
sticker on the door then turn around and leave
because they aren't qualified to do the job."
Considering I'd been doing this for ten years
by then I was pretty annoyed and I saw CEDIA as
an arogant, self serving organiztion, not a benefit
to me. I've changed my tune some, but not much
since then. The idea of AVAD being in such close
cooperation with CEDIA and Bose certainly makes
me wonder how much longer I'll be able to do business
with them.
I received an email from someone involved with my local AVAD regarding some of my opinion expressed in this post. As often happens with this type of communication, some of what I said was taken very differently than I had intended. I was simply going to delete the post but I think that would be a mistake. It is, afterall, a discussion forum and in all forms of discussion their will be some miscommunication.
What the email did do is to remind me that there are hard working people who have the best of intentions and motivations behind the scenes of these programs and organizations.
