SILVER CIRCLE NOMINATION FORM

The Silver Circle is an elite group of professionals recognized by the Heartland Chapter for making a significant contribution to television over a time period of at least 25 years. Silver Circle recognition can be given posthumously. New Silver Circle members will be inducted at the Emmy Awards ceremony in the summer.

Those eligible will have made a significant contribution to television; the contribution can be in service in the industry, to NATAS, to the community, or to people training for a career in the field. Nominees have integrity and honor. They may elevate the craft of journalism, chart new territory, or raise the standards of the industry. Nominations are accepted from the performing, creative, technical or administrative roles within the industry or in peripheral areas directly related to television such as TV commercial production, TV journalism or TV education. Neither nominators nor nominees need to be members of NATAS.

Complete a nomination letter and mail or deliver it, along with all supporting materials to the NATAS office by February 15. The nomination letter must detail the nominee's contributions to television industry and community involvement. The nominee will not be contacted, as many nominees may not know they have been nominated. There is no entry fee. For more information, contact the NATAS office at 303-722-0916.

Nominations are considered by the Silver Circle Committee, which is appointed by the Board of Governors. The committee evaluates the nominee's contributions and then votes for inductees by secret ballot. The committee must vote unanimously to induct a nominee into the Silver Circle. No more than ten individuals are inducted into the Silver Circle in any given year. The selection process is kept confidential.

Important Dates to Remember:

• February 15 - Silver Circle Nominations due at NATAS office
• March/April - Nominators and honorees notified
• July- New Silver Circle members inducted at the Emmy Awards Show in Denver
