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.

INDUCTEE

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

Valley Watch, which airs on several Arizona radio stations in cooperation with

Bonneville Broadcasting on KTAR FM, KPKX FM and ESPN AM. He is a Public

Safety & Media/PR and communications advocate & consultant.

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

(NIOA), and the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA).

Doug is honored to have served NATAS on its non-profit, national foundation board and the

Rocky Mountain Emmy® Foundation board. In service to his local community, he is the Chairman

and President of the Phoenix Fire Foundation, the non-profit arm of the Phoenix Fire Department

and also serves on the board for Arizona Search Dogs.

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.
