Thomas L. Phillips Career Achievement Award

//////////////////////

The Thomas L. Phillips Career Achievement Award was inaugurated in 1999 to recognize the accomplishments of a leader who has made major contributions to the field of journalism during a long and distinguished career.

Thomas L. Phillips, the award’s namesake, is a widely respected businessman, philanthropist and patriot. In 1990, he founded The Phillips Foundation to advance constitutional principles, a democratic society and a vibrant free-enterprise system. Under his leadership, The Phillips Foundation launched the Robert Novak Journalism Fellowship Awards Program in 1994. Phillips is also the founder of Eagle Publishing, America’s leading source of books, periodicals and online services with a conservative, free-enterprise focus.

Phillips is a trustee emeritus of the TFAS Board of Trustees and previously served on the Board of Visitors for the TFAS D.C. Summer Programs track on Journalism + Communications. He continues to serve today as honorary chairman of the Robert Novak Journalism Fellowship Program.
