Emmy

End of an Emmy Era

I’m wrapping up my tenure as president of The Pacific Southwest Chapter of the National Television Academy (NATASPSW). It’s been an honor to lead this organization during the past four years, including during the pandemic. Previous to this, I served four years as vice president. I received this commemorative Emmy Award statue during our recent awards gala in Palm Springs.

Thank you to my board members past and present, as well as our administrator. I will continue serving on the NATASPSW board and supporting the TV and media professionals in our chapter and beyond.

Still soaking up the National Academy of Arts and Sciences Pacific Southwest (NATAS-PSW) Emmy Awards. I love being president of this chapter. 

While I was honored to be nominated for “Outstanding Achievement for Special Events Coverage” of last year’s virtual show, I did not receive an Emmy Award this year. However, I had so much fun on the pre-show Zoom and participating in the virtual awards. 

Then on Saturday we distributed the statues at Viejas Casino and Resort. A photographer snapped red carpet pictures and a videographer recorded acceptance speeches. We also enjoyed a little swag – check out the delicious popcorn gifted by Popped Gourmet Popcorn.
