The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences – Pacific Southwest Chapter is proud to announce that Harold Greene will serve as the emcee of the 40th Anniversary Emmy® Awards.

Greene is an award-winning journalist who covered the news in Southern California for over forty years.  He reported on the stories that shaped our lives, riots, earthquakes, wildfires, guns in schools, gangs, the homeless, illegal immigration, and all things political.

Greene did just about every job in the television news business very successfully, helping his stations attain high ratings.  He went from cameraman/street reporter to news writer, newscast producer, managing editor, news director and then co-anchored top rated newscasts in San Diego, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

Among his honors are seven Emmy Awards (with 15 Emmy Award nominations), ten Golden Mike Awards, three Edward R. Murrow awards, two national Iris Awards, and a Columbia School of Journalism Award.

Greene himself became part of a news story, when he was awarded his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1999.

He is an avid golfer, surfer, emcee and he serves as a Trustee on the Board of Directors of Catholic Charities of Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties.

Volunteer for This Year’s Pacific Southwest Emmy® Awards

/in /by

This year’s Emmy® Awards night is at the La Costa Resort & Spa on June 14th. We are planning a very special night because it’s our Chapter’s 40th anniversary.

Our Awards show is staffed by volunteers and chapter members. This is an excellent opportunity to step up and become part of the crew. It’s about giving back to the community and networking with other members of the media.  If you have worked on past shows, you know it’s a lot of work but also very rewarding. If you have been nominated for an Emmy® Award this year, it’s a low cost way to attend and accept your award.

Please let us know if you are interested in volunteering this year by emailing [email protected].  Include your crew position, and mobile number.

Board of Governors Election Coming In May

Would you like to help improve NATAS Pacific Southwest?  There is no better way to influence the quality of the membership experience than to join us on the Board of Governors.  The Board of Governors is the parliamentary governing body which oversees the functioning of each of the Chapters that comprise The National Television Academy.  The Governors are entrusted with administering the Chapters and for safeguarding the integrity of the Emmy® brand and the Emmy® Awards process.  Governors are elected by the general membership of each Chapter from its active members. Governors may serve two consecutive two-year terms.

If you’d like to run for the June ’14 – June ’16 term, contact the chapter office at [email protected] to put your name on the ballot.

The duties of a Governor include the following:

•To attend a general meeting each month of the Board of Governors to discuss and vote on matters of importance to the Academy.

•To act as a conduit to and from the television community on matters affecting the Chapter and the community.

•To chair or serve actively on at least one Committee.*

•To participate actively in the production of at least one Chapter program or activity each year and to attend as many Chapter functions as possible.

•To serve as a judge and recruit others to judge the Emmy entries from other Chapters of The National Academy.

•To recruit new members of the Chapter.

•To perform whatever other duties are required to maintain the integrity, well-being, and efficient functioning of the Television Academy Chapter.

* The Standing Committees of the Pacific Southwest Chapter include: Activities, Area Awards, Communications, Internet, Legal, Chapter Stations, Membership and Education/Scholarship. There are also several ad hoc committees including Nominations, Television History and Silver/Gold Circle.

Help us continue 40 years of excellence by running for the NATAS-PSW Board of Governors.
