COMMUNICATIONS & PUBLICATIONS Committee
The Communications & Publications Committee (CAP) is dedicated to bringing the voice and works of the organization to the members of ESTA and to the entertainment industry at large. It is our goal to keep members informed of the amazing advancements being made in Technical Standards, Certification, and Technical Education, as well as keeping members informed of member benefits and the day to day services ESTA has to offer. We are an energetic group always in search of new members. If you are interested in becoming involved in CAP or the Protocol Task Group, please contact chairs Dinna Myers or Andrew Nikel.
