The black-tie fundraising gala will benefit the Foundation’s mission of providing aid to broadcasters in need. A former U.S. Senator, Smith has been at the helm of NAB since 2009.
“Gordon’s accomplishments for broadcasters is widely recognized across our profession,” stated Philip J. Lombardo, Chairman of the Broadcasters Foundation. “But perhaps many are not aware of Gordon’s tireless efforts on behalf of the mission of the Broadcasters Foundation to help our colleagues in need. Gordon’s influence has raised awareness of the Foundation’s charitable mission, and his commitment to helping those in our business who need it most has been admirable. We are honored to have Gordon on our Board and to recognize his dedication to our purpose with the 2015 Golden Mike Award.”
“It is a privilege to represent this industry of charitable, giving professionals,” noted Smith. “I am awed by the number of broadcasters who come forward to help their colleagues through the Foundation’s work. I’d like to thank the Board of Directors for this recognition, and I would ask all broadcasters to please consider your good fortune and help those in our profession who, through no fault of their own, have fallen on the hardest of times.”
