Gold Circle

The Gold Circle, new to the National Academy in 2002, was established to honor those members of the television industry who have made an indelible contribution to our community for 50 years or more. The Heartland Chapter was honored to have the pleasure of inducting the first Gold Circle members that year.

The Heartland Gold Circle and Silver Circle honorees represent the spirit of innovation, creativity and committment that are the hallmarks of excellence in the television arts and sciences. We salute them for their efforts, and successes and for the enduring mark they have made on our broadcasting communities.
