There are no two women who belong in the spotlight together more than Brandy Alvarado-Miranda and Tammy Fuqua. Both served as chairs and co-chairs of the AVIXA Women's Council and remain active in its SoCal group. They are among the strongest advocates for women in the AV industry that I know. Alvarado-Miranda and Fuqua are bonded outside the industry in ways that only the best of friends could be.
