🚨 NEW EPISODE: Building an Internal AV Integration Team, Part 1 🚨 Special guest Tim Dickson joins the AV SuperFriends to discuss: 🧑‍🔧 Staffing 💰 Funding 🏗️ Capital projects 🎓 Student labor 🤝 Facilities partnerships 🪄 Turning “great idea” into actual FTEs Part 2 is coming soon because nobody knew when to stop talking. 🎙️🤦 avsuperfriends.com/episodes/on-to… #AVSF #avtweeps #edtech #higheredav
