The AVIXA Women’s Council has announced the addition of a new local group in Hong Kong. With the addition of Hong Kong, the council now has seven local groups outside of the United States.
The formation of the Hong Kong group is led by Joy Balboa, regional marketing manager for Vega Global, and Heather Li, director of digital workplace solutions for Vega Global. The new group is actively recruiting members and plans to host its first networking event soon.
Balboa said: “We are seeing more women moving into careers in AV and IT in Asia. But there is a lack of platforms for women to network, advance their careers, and find training. That’s what led us to work with the AVIXA Women’s Council to start a local group in Hong Kong.”
Li added: “We take pride in the diversity of our workforce and industry. It drives innovation. But diversity can only be successful in an environment that recognises and values all genders, races, cultures, and all our differences. That is inclusion. It is our joint task to welcome every person into our industry.”
