 Hey, Smart Home Pros! It’s International Women’s Month, and there are many incredibly successful women in this industry, so of course, we need a shoutout! Where are my ladies at? This month we are highlighting some of the amazing women who work at Snap One with our fun newsletter caricatures. Plus, we’re showcasing lots of new Smart Skills, updated KB articles, and the new OvrC migration tool! Girl Power! Ashley Kimsey Education Operations Specialist  The Women at Snap One I know this is an all-technical newsletter, but I wanted to highlight some peeps from our company doing amazing things! We’ve got Margie Meyers, our Principal Product Manager, who’s working on some really cool projects you’ll see soon, and Dawn Boland, fearless Senior VP of Services & Support, who leads the teams that take top honors every year! Snap One is proud to host an International Summit for all Women in Technology on International Women’s Day: March 8, 2022. Our first global session will include guest speaker Margie Meyers (Apple, Control4, Snap One), and the second session will feature Susan Cashen (TiVo, Control4, Tectonic Audio Labs). Both sessions will feature an HR perspective by Kathleen Creech (People Leader, Snap One), and a panel discussion with women panelists from CEDIA, Snap One leadership, and Dealership owners, with a Q&A session at the end.

This course helped establish clear distinctions to keep us on the straight track that helped us make more intelligent decisions to program smarter, not harder—with both the technician and end-user in mind. 😉 I thoroughly enjoyed this class, and I look forward to my next class to get my lighting certification. As a woman in the field, thank you for the positive energy and inspiration.” —Kim V Announcing Our Very First Women-Only Automation Programmer Class Supporting incredible women and diversity within our industry is an important initiative at Snap One.
