Founded in 1947, the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) and the Emmy® Award stand for the best in television and allied media.
NATAS is the only non-profit organization dedicated to recognizing outstanding achievement, raising industry standards, and improving the quality of what we watch.
The Heartland Chapter was formed in 1986, to honor work produced and intended for an audience in our region.
Please email office@emmyawards.tv
The Heartland Chapter’s Board of Governors is comprised of members of our industry who are committed to furthering the interest of the Heartland Chapter and the Emmy® Awards. They meet monthly and volunteer their time; most are elected by the membership to a 3-year term.
Any Heartland chapter member in good standing may apply for a position on the board; elections are held in the fall.
Officers are elected by the board members to a 2-year term of office. Chapter Council Representatives represent our chapter in the business of the national NATAS organization and between the other regional NATAS chapters nationwide.
