Convergint’s affinity group for women, Convergint Women Connect, aims to evolve Convergint’s culture through advocacy, education, community, and visibility. Their mission is to make Convergint the most equitable and inclusive global service provider for women of all identities and backgrounds. Through visibility, CWC’s goal is to foster an environment that lifts underrepresented voices within Convergint and the industry through initiatives focused on recognition and networking. To recognize and celebrate women across Convergint Nation, Convergint Women Connect has created the Daily Difference Award.

The Daily Difference Award is a peer-nominated recognition award given to women at Convergint who make a daily difference by representing one of the company’s most deeply-held Values and Beliefs: I have integrity–it’s what I do when no one’s watching.

Last quarter, Amanda Chaya was one of three Daily Difference Award recipients, recognized for her integrity and dedication. Amanda consistently goes above and beyond in her role, supporting others with a positive attitude and making a daily difference through her hard work and proactive approach. Read the interview below to see how Amanda exemplifies these values in action!

“Amanda owns her role on the team and consistently goes above and beyond, taking on additional responsibilities to support others and ensure success.”

Project Cost Administrator

Tell us a little bit about your career with Convergint.

I joined Convergint in June 2021 as a Project Coordinator, and it’s hard to believe it’s already been almost 3 1/2 years! I started by immersing myself in project management and gradually took on additional responsibilities like invoicing, bookings, receiving, and collections. This progression naturally led to my current role as a Project Cost Administrator, where I continue to handle these tasks and contribute wherever needed. I truly enjoy my role because it allows me to make an impact by helping keep everything running smoothly and efficiently!

You won the Daily Difference Award based on your ongoing commitment to Convergint’s V&B: I have integrity–it’s what I do when no one’s watching. What does this value mean to you?

To me, integrity is about being reliable and stepping up whenever I’m needed, even when no one’s watching. It means helping others, whether it’s troubleshooting a system issue or offering support where I can. It’s also about staying on top of my own tasks, like monitoring numbers and hitting collection goals. Integrity means holding myself accountable to meet my own targets, while also helping those around me succeed in reaching theirs.

How are you actively working to grow and advance in your career?

I’m always focused on learning as much as I can in my current role. My ultimate goal is to become an Administrative Supervisor and eventually an Office Manager. To get there, I’m working closely with every department—not just to understand what they do, but also to be ready to step in and fill any gaps when needed. My advice would be to keep learning and always look for opportunities to help wherever you can.

If you had to eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

If I had to choose just one type of food for the rest of my life, I’d go with pizza and beer. I’m a fan of classic toppings like pepperoni and mushrooms—can’t go wrong with that combo!

What is your secret to making a daily difference?

My secret to making a daily difference is prioritization. In my role, I’m constantly approached with questions and requests, so staying focused on what needs attention first is key. Along with that, I have a strong drive to solve problems—I’m always eager to get to the bottom of whatever comes my way.
