The networking mindset of the business owners in the Lakes Region has impressed a new business in town. Sales & Design Manager of Audio Video Intelligence, Scott Smith, noticed a strong sense of community which he interprets to mean folks are ready to lend a hand. He can see how the Greater Lakes Region Children’s Auction has been so successful with individuals and businesses donating items and talent for the December event.
Prior to joining Audio Video Intelligence, Smith held leadership roles with Sonos, Samsung and Bowers & Wilkens. Over the years, he developed a close relationship with AVI as a vendor partner, and respected its decades of leadership in the industry. A longtime resident of Alton, Smith jumped at the opportunity to join his friends and bring AVI’s best-in-class services to the Lakes Region. He has enjoyed getting to know the builders, designers and architects in the Lakes Region. “I see them building amazing homes and I want to keep them up-to-speed on custom home integration”, he notes. Smith enjoys introducing them to the advantages of a smart house; using a high-tech network to run all the music, lighting, televisions and even the blinds with the push of a button.
He also works directly with homeowners to upgrade the comfort and convenience of their home.

Smith is grateful for the opportunity to be involved with the Auction. “It’s the right thing to do”, he says. “It’s incumbent on those of us doing okay to help those who are struggling, especially children”, he believes. He says he has been inspired by Lakes Region tradespeople who live those values and he wants his business to be a part of the Auction’s positive impact on the community.
