“Whether as an employee, or a member of WAVE, Theresa has a ceaseless energy to serve others through her quiet yet confident leadership,” explained Nominee Thomas Berry, Jr., President & CEO in the AV industry. “I take great pleasure in giving employees the opportunity to participate in the industry, especially WAVE.  It is a chance to blossom among so many talented folks.
