Carol was the wife of AVI founder and chairman, Joe Stoebner, and the mother of AVI CEO, Jeff Stoebner. Some of you knew Carol as a founder and friend of AVI Systems. But most of you may not know that the culture that has made AVI such an amazing place to work and a strong sense of family for many, was birthed in large part due to Carol and Joe’s character and values.
This ultimately lead Joe and Carol to make the decision to structure AVI as a 100% employee-owned company. In addition, Carol assisted in many other decisions that directly impacted lives at AVI and the audiovisual industry. To say that Carol is already missed is an inadequate expression of our care and respect for who Carol has been for so many.
