Kay, who is the Executive Director of The Conclave, has won the 2011 Minnesota Broadcasting Hall of Fame Distinguished Service Award. The Head of Pavek Museum at the Minnesota Broadcasting Hall of Fame Steve Raymer said ?Tom was chosen for this award because of his service to the broadcast community. As the driving force behind the Upper Midwest Communication Conclave, Tom has provided a learning experience for thousands of broadcasters as well as awarding over one million dollars in scholarships to those aspiring to enter the field.?
?It is a true thrill and honor to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, receiving the Distinguished Service Award,? said Kay. ?While the plaque will only include my name, it is an accolade that needs to be shared with every Board chair, Board member and each volunteer who has contributed their time and talent to keeping the teaching mission of the Conclave alive and well all these years. My receipt of a place in the Minnesota Broadcasting Hall of Fame means so much to me. But more than anything, it reflects the privilege I?ve been accorded to lead the esteemed Conclave as its Executive Director since its beginning.?
The Pavek Museum of Broadcasting provides a sanctuary for rare artifacts documenting the history of electronic communications while promoting the values of the broadcast industry. In the past twenty years, more than 60,000 school children have participated in Broadcast Workshops and Basic Electricity classes at the Museum while more than 100,000 adults have enjoyed the collections of hardware and programming on display.
