Advocacy

Cris Abrego and Maury McIntyre

At the TV Academy, we believe in making a difference in two key ways: by engaging with our elected officials and by helping you, our members, access experts on timely issues. We work closely with legislators throughout the year to make production easier for you. Raise your concerns with us, and we'll take them to Congress in D.C.! You can share your thoughts and request action through our annual "Your Voice Matters" survey, or by visiting our new Advocacy webpage (coming soon).

Are you interested in understanding and affecting today's issues through great storytelling? If so, check out our Expert Index for Storytellers!

This list features trusted organizations ready to share behind-the-scenes insights on timely topics. They can also assist you in crafting authentic storylines that resonate with these issues.

The Emmy Awards

We look forward to seeing you at the Television Academy.

Let's celebrate television excellence, inspire and provide opportunity to generations of television professionals to come, and create a community for professionals with purpose.
