“Mediation: Working Together” depicts the benefits of mediation as an effective and desirable alternative to the more formal processes traditionally used to resolve disputes, particularly equal opportunity disputes. The video was produced in cooperation with the Technical Center’s Office of Civil Rights, counsel’s office and the Agency’s Dispute Resolution Staff. “NEXCOM: System Demonstration One” made its debut at the 2002 Air Traffic Control Association convention in Washington. The dynamic video outlines and demonstrates the promising benefits of the future of digital radio communications for controlling air traffic. The NEXCOM video also recently won the Communicator Crystal Award of Excellence for 2002 in the government/federal category. The Communicator Award is an international program founded by communications professionals to recognize excellence in the communications field. The awards are judged solely on quality, creativity and resourcefulness. These two videos are the sixth and seventh produced by the Technical Center to win Telly honors. A number of Technical Center and FAA people are responsible for the Center’s attaining this creative achievement. They are: Robert Marks, Dale Dingler, Ron Meilicke, Verna Artis, Frank Merlock, Anne Kertz, Mike Gross and Sue Wall, Advanced Imaging Division; Jay Fox, Center Counsel’s Office; Richard Newman and Kimberly Tweedle, Civil Rights Office; Alice Reese, Facility Engineering and Operations Group; Fern Feil Kaufman, FAA Dispute Resolution Office; Andy Colon and Deborah Fontana, Telecommunications Infrastructure Air/Ground Communications Group; and Susan Burmester, Sandy Anderson and James Eck, FAA Office of Communications, Navigation and Surveillance Systems. The Telly Awards were founded in 1980 to showcase and recognize outstanding non-network and cable TV commercials. The Telly Awards have become a well-known, highly-respected competition for people who create commercials, films and videos. The Telly is one of the most sought-after awards in the TV, commercial and video industry. _____________________________________________________________________ |
