Since 1989, the Conclave has presented The Rockwell Award - an annual lifetime achievement award ? to an individual of unquestioned accomplishment in the radio industry. What is the Conclave looking for in a Rockwell Award recipient? It seeks a person who is not just an inspirational leader, but a person of great accomplishment - one who teaches and guides others directly, by example, or both. The successful nominee has made lasting and significant contributions not just inside the industry, but to the public the industry serves. The Rockwell nomination guidelines are as follows:
1. Any member of the industry may nominate one or more persons for the Rockwell award: a syndicated or local talent, a single market or national programmer, a general manager or group owner, a production or promotion professional, V/O talent, etc.
2. All nominations must be accompanied by supporting evidence sufficiently detailed for the Conclave Board to render a decision (e.g., a resume; accounts of industry accomplishment; testimonials from individuals or organizations regarding the nominee?s body of work and contribution, etc.)
3. Nominations must be made in writing via mail (4517 Minnetonka Blvd #104, Minneapolis, MN 55416), email (tomk@theconclave.com), or fax (952-927-4487) no later than 6:00 p.m. CST Friday, January 20, 2012.
The recipient will be announced on or before February 1, 2012 and the Award will be presented during the 37th Annual Learning Conference, July 18-20th at the Doubletree Park Place Hotel in Minneapolis.
2011 co-recipients include CBS Radio President/CEO Dan Mason and legendary programmer Steve Rivers. Previous recipients include Emmis President Rick Cummings, Cumulus Media Senior Vice President of Programming Mike McVay, and Erica Farber, past publisher of Radio & Records.
The Rockwell Award is the Conclave?s highest honor and is a tribute to those who have contributed to the industry through example and inspiration. It is the Conclave?s only lifetime achievement recognition and was created as a tribute to longtime Conclave Board member and Wisconsin radio owner/operator/morning man, Mike Rockwell. Honoring individuals who have contributed to the industry as mentors, benefactors, and friends, the Rockwell Award is presented annually to deserving individuals as selected by the Conclave?s Board of Directors and Executive Committee.
