The move to CAVSP ties in with the AVolution Industry Awareness Campaign and its focus on professional A/V solutions providers. The CAVSP program will feature new logos (seals) for basic, silver, and gold certified members. The seal indicates that companies or departments within organizations have achieved a level of certification among staff.
