Welcome to TIVA-DC Who We AreTelevision, Internet and Video Association of DC (TIVA-DC), a local not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization was formed to serve the needs of the growing Washington/Baltimore media production community. Focused on the burgeoning local market, TIVA offers an entrée into a world of career opportunities, new-industry technology seminars, educational outreach, mentoring and award ceremonies.
Our HistoryTIVA-DC has deep roots in the Washington/Baltimore media production community. Its membership came from the DC chapter of the natonal organization founded in 1970 as the National Industrial Television Association (NITA), which became the International Television Association (ITVA) in 1978. In 2001, the national organization (ITVA) changed its name again to the Media Communication Association (MCA-I), but the DC chapter, ITVA-DC, decided against change and kept its name. In 2007, MCA-I forced ITVA-DC to change its name to MCAI-DC. At that time, a number of local members created an independent organization, TIVA-DC, in order to assure local control image and management.
Our MissionTIVA-DC was formed to:
- offer annual competitions and scholarship awards programs for students and media professionals;
- mentor students in high school programs as well as those in accredited undergraduate and graduate media programs;
- provide leadership, educational and networking opportunities for metro DC area media-makers, thereby promoting professionalism in our media community and enhancing the community’s status and public recognition;
- any other lawful purpose consistent with the provision of the organization’s bylaws and Articles of Incorporation.
