Here you will find links and brief descriptions of groups and organizations that might be of interest to AV NIRVANA users. Many of the links have great reference information. Most entries have a short quote from the site, usually a mission statement. Descriptions not in quotes are our own, usually because there was not a brief mission statement or description readily available on the site. As the list gets larger we may change the formatting or break out individual threads. If an organization is interested in participating actively we will be happy to create a thread for them.
