BOARD OF GOVERNORS AWARD

For recognition of achievements by individuals, organizations or companies which do not fall within the structure of the Chapter's regular Area Awards. Historically, Board of Governors Awards are for truly outstanding and unique accomplishments or for achievements of some duration and durability.

This award can be given to an individual, a company or an organization for outstanding achievement in the arts, sciences or management of television which is either of a cumulative nature or so extraordinary and universal in nature as to be beyond the realm of the awards presented in the categories of achievement.

This is the highest award of the chapter.

Governors Award Recipients:

Andrew Young

On June 27th 2009, the NATAS Southeast Chapter will present the Governors Award to Andrew Young, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations under President Jimmy Carter.
