Amanda Wildman has dedicated years of service to CEDIA and the CEDIA community as a volunteer, educator, Board member, and now as Chairperson of the CEDIA Board. Her vision, passion, and commitment to the smart home industry continue to inspire those around her. Amanda and her husband Ponch, as owners of TruMedia in Ada, Michigan, have been pillars of their community.

Tragically, Ponch passed away unexpectedly in his sleep at just 45 years old, leaving Amanda and her children facing an unimaginable loss. As Amanda navigates this difficult time, the support of friends, colleagues, and the broader CEDIA community can help provide stability and peace of mind for her family. The funds raised will go directly to Amanda and her children, helping them manage immediate needs and offering a sense of security as they move forward.

Amanda has been a tireless advocate for our industry, a trusted colleague, and a friend to so many throughout the CEDIA community. In moments like this, we are reminded that our industry is more than a profession—it is a family. Ponch's passing is a heartbreaking loss, and while no contribution can ease the grief Amanda and her loved ones are experiencing, our support can help provide stability and peace of mind during an unimaginable time.

We encourage anyone whose life has been touched by Amanda's generosity, leadership, kindness, or friendship to consider supporting her family. Now is our opportunity to surround Amanda with the same care and support she has shown so many others.
