How about Joel Silver of ISF.
JK, I second Joel. I think he SHOULD win and he COULD win.
I would like to vote for 39 Cent Stamp from http://www.wiremunky.com .
Jeff Hoover, Audio Advisors!
I’m gonna have to go with 39 Cent Stamp on this one.
QQQ. Vote early, vote often.
Another one here for 39 Cent Stamp.
Howard Sinkoff, Vutec Corporation, Over 30 years manufacturing and supplying the AV industry with innovative and profitable products.
On the other hand (I have five fingers) the following might also merit consideration:
> Don Stewart
> Frank White
> Rich Stoerger
> Noel Lee
or…..
I’d second Mikey’s votes
Rich Stoeger is always positive and never flags.
Jeff Hoover was amazing for us in Europe when others couldn’t be, and Frank was completely inspirational for me when I got involved with CEDIA back in the day
These are some good ones, several I wouldn’t have thought of.
And who’s this Richard guy that everyone keeps talking about?
Richard is certainly deserving as an ambassador for CEDIA and custom. However I can’t see anybody more deserving than Noel Lee. Look at what he has built of Monster Cable AND how many others are now in business because he helped pave the way.
Greg C- you’d actually have to know who QQQ was to give him an award.
I’m going with 39 Cent Stamp for his behind-the-scenes work.
I vote for the STAMP!!!




I vote for Ken Moyes!
