Michele Mitchell, Neuhoff Media’s VP of Content & Digital Strategy, received the Illinois Broadcasters Association Vanguard Award on Monday, October 23, 2023 at the Bloomington-Normal Marriott Hotel & Conference Center. President and General Manager of Neuhoff Media Springfield, Kevin O’Dea, presented her with her award.
The Vanguard Award from the Illinois Broadcasters Association was created to recognize dedicated team members who, over the course of their careers, have made significant contributions to their workplace and positively impacting their station’s success. The Award takes on significant meaning as its recipients were nominated by their manager or immediate supervisor. Mitchell is the third Neuhoff employee to receive this award. Neuhoff Media’s Carolyn Hilligoss and Tim Schweizer received the Vanguard Award last year.
Neuhoff Media CEO, Mike Hulvey, said, “Michele is a selfless leader who demonstrates her dedication to our core values of Grit, Community, Excellence, and Innovation daily. If you were to ask any member of our team, they would tell you Michele is someone they can rely on 100% of the time. If you want to see her creative impact, just visit any of our websites or digital products. Michele either designed them, inspired them or is finding ways to make them better.”
