Silver & Gold Circle

The Silver Circle is open to individuals who began their careers in television at least 25 years ago, either in a performing, creative, technical or administrative role within the industry, or in an area related to television such as TV journalism education, advertising, promotion, and public relations. The candidates must also have made a significant contribution to Pacific Southwest television for at least part of their 25-year career.

Only current residents of the Pacific Southwest region are eligible. Candidates are selected for evaluation and selection by a special Silver Circle Committee appointed by the Chapter Board of Governors composed of five Silver Circle members and five chapter members.
