The Television Department of Columbia College Chicago and the Chicago/Midwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences invite you to the inaugural event in support of establishing the Sharon Palermo Scholarship Fund, an endowed scholarship through Columbia College.

This scholarship is being created in memory of Sharon Palermo, wife of Luke Palermo, who sadly passed in the fall of 2005. Luke is a long-time Columbia faculty member and Chicago/Midwest NATAS board member, and his contributions to the college, academy and the community over the last twenty-plus years are many. Sharon, Luke’s wife of thirty years, was an integral part of those contributions. Sharon always chose to work in education and was committed to those students she came in contact with far beyond her job. She lived life with great joy, whether absorbed in a mystery novel, a rousing game of Scrabble, a placid lake-side vacation or cooking with Luke. A scholarship in her name is an appropriate way to honor Sharon’s life.

The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences - Chicago/Midwest Chapter (NATAS) is looking for qualified companies to provide a proposal on the provision of production & post-production services for our 2006 awards night event.

Annually NATAS puts on an awards event in which 50-70 awards are given out to recognize the finest work in the region. This event will occur at the Thorne Auditorium in Downtown Chicago in late November; approximately 500 people attend each year. The event is similar to the award shows broadcast on TV (Oscars & National Emmys) in its mechanical execution. NATAS contracts with a production company to provide all pre-production, post-production and event production services.
