The Conclave says Jacobs Media President Fred Jacobs (pictured) and President & CEO of Airplay Intel Rich Meyer will recieve the 2012 Rockwell Award. They will be honored at the annual awards luncheon during the Conclave Learning Conference Friday, July 20th in Minneapolis. The Rockwell Award is the Conclave?s highest honor. Since 1989 this lifetime achievement award has been given in memory of one of the Conclave?s founding members, Mike Rockwell.
Conclave Board Chairman Mark Bolke said, ?I am thrilled to see Fred Jacobs and Rich Meyer named as this year?s recipients of the Rockwell Award. They have distinguished themselves as industry leaders, innovators, and most importantly, benchmarks of integrity and character. It will be my honor and pleasure to see them both formally recognized in front of their industry peers this July in Minneapolis.?
Jacobs, whose company Jacobs Media has been an active part of the Conclave Learning Conference and since 2010 has presented its Jacobs Media ?Summer School? series said, ?As a lifelong radio guy and student of the game, I am so humbled and excited to be named a Rockwell honoree. Thanks to the Conclave for this special honor.?
Rich Meyer, who in 2009 founded Airplay Intel said, ?I am extremely honored and grateful to be receiving the Rockwell Award this year. It is a true testament to
the hard work of the hundreds of talented individuals I have had the privilege of working with for so many years. If the award could be broken up into tiny little
equal sized pieces, I would give a piece to every single person that has been there along the way.?
