NSCA, the leading not-for-profit association representing the commercial integration industry, honored Gina Sansivero with the 2024 Volunteer of the Year Award at the 26th annual Business & Leadership Conference (BLC), held Feb. 27-29, 2024, in Irving, TX.

Gina Sansivero is the vice president of marketing and corporate communications at AtlasIED. She has over 17 years’ experience working within the audiovisual, security, and communication technologies industry in marketing and business/market development roles. As an active industry cheerleader, she believes in giving back to an industry that has helped her mature professionally and is currently on the board of directors for Women In AV/IT (WAVIT President) and the NSCA Education Foundation. She also volunteers for a number of industry associations, including Educational Technology Collaborative (ETC), NSCA, and AVIXA among others.

Her contributions include her service as an NSCA Education Foundation board member. Throughout the year, the Foundation seeks to grow the industry by providing access to educational experiences that cultivate business skills, enable growth, and enhance industry professionalism. She’s an active Ignite Ambassador, helping pave the way toward improving our industry’s workload and workforce needs through advocacy and collaboration efforts. She also helped bring the NSCA Education Foundation’s popular golf fundraiser to the Northeast for the first time last August.

“I sincerely enjoy the work I do with the associations and organizations of which I’m a part, and I hope to have the opportunity to continue to support, expand, and strengthen this industry,” she says. “I may have fallen into the AV industry years ago, but the individuals in the industry and the opportunities to grow and expand my skills are why I have stayed. I feel it’s necessary to give back to those that have professionally given me so much. And I will continue to help make sure others have opportunities for growth, and the support they need to excel.”

“We appreciate Gina’s ceaseless efforts to better our industry community, nurture the next generation, and help us continue to raise funds to support important industry initiatives,” says NSCA Executive Director Tom LeBlanc. “She has helped move many of our programs forward.”
