ACME Wins the 2012 Vial Awards
ACME is pleased to announce that The ACME Network has won the 2012 Don and Rosemary Vial Award for Outstanding Performance by an Organization. ACME is also pleased to congratulate Executive Director Deborah Brooks on winning the 2012 Vial Award for Outstanding Performance by an Individual. The Vial Awards, sponsored by the California Emerging Technology Fund, recognize extraordinary performance in harnessing the power of technology for public good and for promoting Digital Inclusion in the tradition of visionaries Don and Rosemary Vial. The ACME Network has served over 55,000 students in digital literacy and animation training-- 38,000 of these students have been supported by ACME's partnership with CETF.
ACME won the Vial award in recognition of its success as a model of success in connecting Los Angeles-based animation studios with students in low-performing schools. Deborah Brooks won for her success in building the online mentoring community and for her work in engaging the entertainment industry in service to youth. The ACME Network and ACME Animation engage students, teachers, and entertainment industry professionals in animation training and career mentoring to foster leadership, collaboration, creativity, and technology proficiency.
ACME thanks the outstanding mentoring volunteers, supporters and our industry friends who have helped make this possible!
