ACC Members Make the Beacon Awards Happen
ACC Members not only enter the Beacon Awards. They also donate their time and professional experience to improve program operations and develop new ways to increase the outreach and recognition of the Beacon Awards. All the entries are judged by your peers – fellow ACC members – as well.Volunteer to Judge the Beacon Awards
Learn what your fellow cable communicators are accomplishing across the country and walk away with lots of new ideas by volunteering to judge the Beacon Awards. It is easier than ever. If you volunteer to judge the preliminary round, ACC will mail several entries to you to review anytime, anywhere during a two-week judging period. In late summer, a panel of senior ACC members, cable communications and public affairs professionals, will judge the final round in Washington, DC, and select the winning entries. Interested? Please fill out the volunteer form or contact Michelle Butler at mbutler@cablecommunicators.org or 202-222-2372.Honoring the 2008 Beacon Award Winners
