CEA and Leviton Partner to Kick off TechHome Manufacturer Sponsorship Program; Leviton to Sponsor Membership for its Top 50 Integrators in CEA's TechHome Division.

ARLINGTON, Va. -- The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA(R)) and Leviton Integrated Networks and Controls, Leviton Manufacturing's Structured Cabling Group, announced the creation of the TechHome Manufacturer Sponsorship Program. The program encourages manufacturers to sponsor their integrators to become part of the fastest growing network of installers in the consumer electronics industry. Leviton Integrated Networks and Controls is the first manufacturer in the industry to participate with CEA in kicking off this exciting new program. Leviton is rewarding their top 50 integrators by sponsoring membership in CEA's TechHome Division.

"This new program allows us to further our mission by growing the industry and extending our business in this fast growing division," said Charles Eaton, senior director of CEA's member relations department. "We hope that other manufacturers will take advantage of this new sponsorship program."

Ian Hendler, director of business development for Leviton Integrated Networks and Controls said, "We are excited about this wonderful opportunity to give something back to our top integrators and know they will benefit from membership in the industry's leading consumer electronics association."

Membership in CEA's TechHome Division affords many benefits, including the opportunity to highlight integrators in the TechHome referral database, obtain market and consumer research, attend exclusive consumer research, receive training discounts, partake of reduced insurance premiums and attend exclusive industry networking events.
