Sneak Peek at “Our Code”, Due to Release March 31st

Our first book, entitled Our Code, is a collection of stories, business best practices and company history. It should be equally interesting to A/V industry insiders and small business owners of all types.

Release Date Announced for AVPA’s First Book Titled “Our Code: History, Practices and Processes of AVPA”

In our December blog post we mentioned plans to release our first book in 2014. Those plans have been in the works for a while, and we’ve made major progress on the writing side of things. As such, we’re excited to announce that the book will be released on March 31^st!

Some of the topics covered include the founding of AVPA, our experience launching a new venture on September 11^th 2001 and some of the attitudes we believe a successful business should maintain.
