Women of InfoComm Network and CTS

womenofinfocomm-0815This year at InfoComm 2015, the Women of InfoComm Network Council held its first meeting with great success. Both women and men from all sectors of the industry were present and discussed initiatives, including CTS certification.

In the InfoComm Today Podcast Women of InfoComm and CTS, Christa Bender, CTS, Inside Sales and Marketing Coordinator at Applied Video Technology, talks about the importance of the certification and what their plans are to help women become certified.

“CTS is very important regardless of whether they’re male or female. Certification shows that you’re dedicated to the industry and properly portraying yourself and your company,” she said. “If you’re going to see a doctor, would you go to a doctor with a Dr. in front of their name or someone who’s pretending to be a doctor? I look at CTS as that. Someone who’s taking themselves and their work seriously.”

Right now the council is encouraging people to get involved and learn more about the CTS, CTS-D and CTS-I and showing them where to find materials on the website that are specific to their needs and goals through the LinkedIn group.

The CTS study group on LinkedIn is gaining momentum and with a diverse group everyone will be able to lend their expertise to those who need help in different areas.

“Right now, [the study group] is mostly online. If there is enough interest and we can break it up geographically we can certainly do that,” Bender said.
