Virginia Communications Hall of Fame Call for Nominations

By Tom Gresham

The Virginia Communications Hall of Fame is seeking nominees for its 2010 class of inductees.

The Hall of Fame seeks to induct persons born in Virginia who have made outstanding long-term contributions in the field of communications, or persons born elsewhere who have become distinctively identified with Virginia and have made outstanding long-term contributions in the field of communications.

The Hall of Fame, established by the School of Mass Communications at Virginia Commonwealth University in 1986, recognizes individuals who have shown exceptional achievement in the fields of print, broadcast, public relations, advertising and interactive media, including cable and the Internet. The Hall of Fame has 112 members.

Nominations should include:

• a letter of nomination that identifies the nominee and describes, in as much detail as possible, the professional contributions to communication of the nominee as well as the nominee’s Virginia connection;

• contact information for the nominee (or, if deceased, of one of the nominee’s family members) including address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address;

• names and contact information for at least two individuals whom the Hall of Fame Selection Committee could contact for additional information on behalf of the nominee.
  

Nominations must be received before Nov. 1, 2009.

Nominations should be sent to:
