Avid® and the customer-led Avid Community Association (ACA) has celebrated the fourth year of its Avid Learning Collective program by awarding sponsorships to six additional organizations to help promote and inspire under-represented grassroots talent in the media and entertainment industry around the world.

Avid Chief Customer Officer, Deb Sanders explains: “We’re thrilled to continue working with organizations and initiatives in bringing diversity to the media industry and uplifting underrepresented creators through the Avid Learning Collective. Each year Avid is proud to partner with a new cohort of incredible organizations from all over the world.”

Media Technology & Workflow Executive, and ACA Executive Board Co-Chair, Marcy Lefkovitz adds: “The collaboration we have with Avid Learning Collective recipients ultimately shines a light on creatives and storytellers who might have otherwise gone unseen. We have a great opportunity here to not only bridge the tools and resource gap, but to connect people and communities to a larger network.”
