LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
I want to personally welcome you to our 2025 Gold &
Silver Circle Induction Ceremony.
For the past few years, we have been fortunate to make this
ceremony a special and intimate dinner where the sole focus is
on celebrating 25 and 50 years of dedication to our industry. I
hope you find tonight as meaningful and rewarding as I have
over the years.
The inductees are selected by a committee made up of
previously inducted Gold and Silver Circle Society members,
and a select group of Rocky Mountain Southwest Board of
Governors led by Dr. John Craft. In addition to the selection
committee, this evening would not be possible without the hard
work of our Events Committee, led by Windsor Smith, Executive
Director Jessica O’Toole, Chapter Administrator Betsy Hauge, and—
last but not least—our hosts, Sue Breding and Chad Brummett.
As we honor the dedication and talent of tonight’s inductees, I want you to know that the
future of our industry is bright. Earlier today, we hosted the 2025 Student Production Awards.
The work these students produce is nothing short of exceptional. As members of the Gold
and Silver Circle Society, you have the opportunity to serve as judges and share your
invaluable knowledge and feedback with these students. Please be on the lookout for
opportunities in 2026 to lend your wisdom through judging.
Congratulations to all those being inducted tonight!

LETTER FROM THE GOLD & SILVER CIRCLE CHAIR
Welcome, Gold & Silver Circle members, Board Members,
and guests.
This annual induction celebration is our opportunity to
honor this year’s outstanding inductees and their
significant contributions to the television industry in
the Rocky Mountain Southwest region of the National
Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
Television, once in its infancy in the late 1940s, has
grown to become a major source of news, information,
and entertainment. The evolving technology of
television quickly surpassed radio, newspapers, and
magazines to become the most influential medium in
shaping social trends and disseminating information across
society.
While advancements in technology have been transformative, the true drivers of
television’s rapid growth have always been its people—the individuals who create the
programs we watch each day. The real inventors of television are those in the newsrooms,
studios, and production offices of our local television stations and production
organizations.
This Gold & Silver Circle Ceremony allows us to say “thank you” to those who have
demonstrated exceptional dedication, service, and achievement in the television
industry. These individuals have also given back to their greater communities in the Rocky
Mountain Southwest region for more than 25 years—or, in a few cases, more than 50 years.
The individuals inducted this evening were nominated by their peers, selected by the Gold
& Silver Circle Committee, and approved by our Board for inclusion in this prestigious
society. We honor and thank them for their lasting contributions to the television industry,
and we warmly congratulate them as they join the Gold & Silver Circle.

NICOLE CRITES
INDUCTEE
Journalism isn’t a job where you just clock in for a 40-hour week. It’s an
honor, a passion, and a commitment to storytelling—engaging the spirit
and purpose of every person you profile to offer greater context and
perspective to the world around us. It’s a calling Nicole Crites strives to
fulfill every day, in every story.
Driven by curiosity from a young age, Nicole began interning in high
school with the sports department at KVOA in Tucson. She later interned
for “48 Hours” in New York, where she got a taste of network news. Nicole
was the only intern sent out of state to track down leads she pitched, and one
of only two who showed up during off-hours for breaking news. Because of
that dedication, she was entrusted with booking live guests when John F.
Kennedy Jr.’s plane crashed off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard in 1999.
N
In her senior year at the University of Arizona, Nicole landed a weekend assignment editor
and part-time reporter position at KVOA. After graduation, she sent out tapes and was hired within months to report at
KREM in Spokane, Washington. Nicole left her morning anchor role in Spokane to return to Arizona, start a family with
her high school sweetheart, David, and report for CBS 5 (KPHO). She was later promoted to morning anchor, earning
Emmy® Awards for her field anchoring during the 2011 assassination attempt on Congresswoman Gabby Giffords and
for her “Keeping the Promise” series featuring the struggles and successes of military families and veterans.
Nicole moved to anchor Good Evening Arizona when CBS 5 merged with 3TV in Arizona’s first television duopoly. She
was eventually promoted to main evening anchor, where she continued winning Emmys® for both breaking news and
feature reporting—marking more than 20 years of anchoring at the same station.
Throughout her career, Nicole has interviewed countless newsmakers and celebrities, but her favorite stories spotlight
humble heroes who never seek recognition for their service and sacrifice. That same spirit fuels her dedication to
Military Assistance Mission, or MAM, where she has served on the board for more than a decade, helping provide
financial aid and support to Arizona military families. Nicole also volunteers many hours and
weekends emceeing charitable fundraisers for causes close to her heart, including law
enforcement, the military, Alzheimer’s research, health care, small business, and
leadership initiatives.

INDUCTEE
PATRICIO GUTIERREZ
“Do your best, no matter what kind of job you get—be the best.”
Though it may echo an old Army motto, these words, spoken in
Spanish by Patricio Gutierrez’s father around 1977, carried a deeply
personal message. He was a man with only a basic education who
taught himself to succeed, driven by a single purpose: to provide for
his family. His work ethic became Patricio’s greatest inspiration.
Gutierrez began his education at San Antonio de Padua, a Catholic
school affiliated with the Franciscan order. In 1973, he enrolled in a
vocational high school and graduated five years later with a public
accounting diploma. This qualification led to his first job in 1978 at Chile’s
National Television, working in the accounting department.
He later served as personnel manager at what is now Grey Advertising before
returning to National Television in program production—an experience that sparked his passion for
communication. After immigrating to the United States in 1985, Gutierrez earned a Bachelor of Arts in
television with a focus on communications from Grand Canyon College in 1992. That same year, he
joined Univision as a traffic assistant and eventually rose to newscast director, production supervisor and
executive producer. During his tenure, he helped elevate the newscasts to become the No. 1 news program
in the Phoenix market, regardless of language. Since 2017, Gutierrez has served as managing editor and
executive producer at Telemundo Arizona, with a mission to lead Noticiero Telemundo to the top spot in the
market—a goal he proudly accomplished. Throughout his career, he has held closely to his father’s advice:
“Do your best. Be the best.”
Gutierrez holds several honors for his work, including eight regional Emmy® Awards, an AP Arizona Award,
the APTRA Mark Twain Award and the Gabriel Award.
He is also the co-founder of the Chilean Cultural Center of Arizona, a nonprofit organization
dedicated to preserving and promoting Chilean heritage. He helped create a folkloric group
that teaches and performs Chilean music and dance in public schools, universities, churches
and cultural events—including performances at the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM). He
continues to serve on the center’s board of directors.

DAVID MAJURE
INDUCTEE
For more than three decades, David Majure has been telling
Arizona’s stories—capturing its people, places and history
with skill, heart and authenticity. A 36-year veteran of
Arizona’s broadcasting landscape, Majure has dedicated his
career to creating meaningful content that connects viewers
to the state he proudly calls home.
After earning his degree in broadcasting from Northern
Arizona University in 1989, Majure began his career at KAET-
TV (Arizona PBS), producing for the respected news and public
affairs program Horizon. In 2001, he took on a new challenge when
the Arizona State Senate recruited him to help launch Arizona Capitol
Television—a C-SPAN-style service that live-streams legislative
proceedings.
He returned to KAET-TV in 2007 to create content for Horizon and Arizona Stories, a series that
explored defining moments in the state’s history. In 2013, Majure embraced a new role as a video
producer for the Arizona Game and Fish Department, where he enjoys spotlighting the passionate
work of biologists and conservationists protecting Arizona’s wildlife and wild places.
Although retired from state government, Majure hasn’t slowed down. He continues working with
Game and Fish and has launched his own production company, MajureMotion Pictures, which
allows him to provide free and discounted creative services to outstanding local nonprofits—such as
ALS Arizona—and local bands, including The Black Moods.
A 26-time recipient of Rocky Mountain Southwest Regional Emmy® Awards and
numerous other media honors, Majure is widely recognized for his talent,
generosity and unwavering commitment to accurate storytelling. He is married to
his college sweetheart, Lauren. They live in Gilbert and have two sons, Hayden and
Sean.

DOUG MUMMERT
Doug Mummert is a “baby-boomer” born in Hollywood, California. He attended
Phoenix College and Grand Canyon University. Following a four-year tour in
the U.S. military, he joined the Phoenix Fire Department, where he retired
in 2015 as a Chief - Command Officer. He was a founding member of the
department’s All Hazards Incident Management Team, an original member
of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Urban Search &
Rescue (USAR) Team – Arizona Task Force 1. Mummert also served on the
FEMA USAR National Incident Support Team as a Public Information Officer
(PIO) and has also served as a PIO for the Phoenix Fire Department. He was

Mummert’s odyssey into television and film production took off in the early 1990’s
when he started a production communications business in his “spare time.” He worked
with General Motors, Kraft Foods, Nike, the United States Army and many well-known TV and
film production companies. In 1994, he moved into the realm of producing, writing, directing, shooting, and editing.
This all began with creating safety and training videos for the Phoenix Fire Department. In 1997, he took over the job as
managing director of the Phoenix Fire Television Network. With the help of many, he created the program, Phoenix Fire
Works, in 1998 which would ultimately fill a void in educating and informing the public on topical public safety related
issues. Thanks to an excellent collaborating production team, this program has won critical acclaim. It has won, been
nominated and recognized for many major awards and organizations, including the Rocky Mountain Emmy® Awards,
the Telly Awards, the WorldFest International Film Festival, the National Association of Telecommunication Officers and
Advisors’ Government Programming Awards and the Phoenix Film Festival.
In 2001 he was elected to the Board of Governors for the Rocky Mountain/Southwest Chapter of the National Academy
of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS). From 2006 to 2010 he was the Alternate National Trustee for the chapter and
National Trustee from 2011 to 2014, and from 2017 to 2024. Doug is the immediate past president for the region and
currently serves as an elected Governor on the board. He is a past or present member of the Arizona Production
Association, International Television Association (ITVA), National Information Officers Association

LEE OLLERTON
INDUCTEE
For more than 50 years, Lee Ollerton has been fortunate to be part of the
video production community, working alongside incredibly talented
professionals and forming lasting friendships. Ollerton has always embraced
the challenge of evolving technology and have remained committed to
producing the highest quality work while mentoring others along the way.
Ollerton’s career began in 1972, shortly after his 17th birthday, when he was hired
as a studio camera operator at KUTV in Salt Lake City while still in high school. He
quickly advanced, gaining hands-on experience in camera operation, directing,
and technical directing for both news and commercial productions. He sought
every opportunity to deepen his knowledge of video production, which led to valuable
freelance work across multiple areas.
During the 1980s, Ollerton worked with STS Production and Video West, where he expanded his
skills in editing, camera work, and directing. Notably, he served for 14 years as a handheld cameraman and technical
director for Utah Jazz broadcasts, which opened doors to additional network sports productions throughout the
western U.S. One of the most rewarding parts of his career was producing the Children’s Miracle Network Telethon for
18 years—21 hours of live television annually that helped raise funds for children’s hospitals. Through this work, he also
had the chance to collaborate with Disney on nationally aired segments, including parade features and music videos.
From 1990 to 2018, he worked for various production companies and also operated as an independent contractor.
These years allowed him to engage in a wide range of projects—from commercials and corporate training videos to
long-form storytelling—constantly adapting to new formats and client needs.
Since 2018, Ollerton has been proud to serve as a Post Production Editor, Studio Director, and
Technical Director for PBS Utah. This role has brought meaningful opportunities to contribute to
high-quality content that educates and uplifts the community. Over the years, his work has been
honored with numerous Rocky Mountain Emmy® Awards across categories including historical
documentaries, arts programming, and environmental reporting. He is deeply grateful for the
colleagues and collaborators who have shaped his journey and for the chance to use his craft to
make a positive impact.
