Underscoring its position as North
America’s leading ProAV distributor, Stampede
Presentation Products, Inc. today announced that it has become a
Cornerstone Partner of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). In doing so, according to company President
Kevin Kelly, Stampede is the first distributor of professional audio-video solutions
to ever become a designated Cornerstone Partner of the AIA.
“As architects increasingly play a larger
role in determining the best technology solutions for builders, designers,
developers and property owners, the education offered to them has to increase
as well,” Kelly emphasized today.
“Through this new Cornerstone Partnership
with the AIA, we will be able to offer architects comprehensive courses that
count toward their continuing education credits. No other distributor of
professional audio and video solutions can make this claim and it’s one more
reason why architects can turn to Stampede for both product and education
solutions that meet their needs.”
Through the AIA Cornerstone
Partnership program, building product manufacturers, trade associations, and
service providers provide valuable continuing education resources to AIA
members. In return, each partner company receives turnkey solutions from the
AIA that supplement its marketing efforts to the more than 83,000 AIA members
year-round.
AIA members are required to accumulate a
number of continuing education credits each year as part of their membership,
and Stampede is now submitting training content from its Big Book of AV
sessions for evaluation and approval as continuing education credits.
Further proving its commitment to helping
educate architecture professionals, Stampede has designated an hour at the
beginning of each Big Book of AV Tour solely for members of the architectural
community. The Architects Power Hour
will run from noon to 1 p.m. at each stop of the tour, and will allow
architects to meet one-on-one with the exhibiting ProAV manufacturers.
