BOSTON, MA – November 2, 2022 – The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) Boston/New England Chapter is proud to announce the 2022 inductees selected for the prestigious Gold & Silver Circle Awards.
Established in 1993, Silver Circle is an honor society within our chapter for members who have spent 25+ years working in pursuit of our profession’s highest and most noble goals. Gold Circle is for those with 50+ years. The circle recognizes those in a television station, cable channel, or production house who have been reliable, valued, contributors and mentors.
“This particular recognition is so meaningful because it comes from our peers,” said Kathryn Shehade, President of The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences / Boston New England Chapter. “These individuals have directly impacted New England media and, over the years, have evolved into ambassadors for humanitarianism in television. Their contributions and achievements have earned them the respect of their colleagues. We are honored to induct each of these outstanding recipients into the prestigious Gold & Silver Circle.”
The Boston/New England Chapter has inducted over 170 industry professionals who have made significant contributions to television, the Academy, their community and to people training for careers in television. Honoring broadcast excellence and community commitment, these New England television pioneers will join an array of broadcast leaders who have set industry standards with a strong commitment to their craft.
