Television stars are often admired for their work on the small screen, but it is the work they do in the hours while off set that really make an impact. The annual Television Industry Advocacy Awards aims to honor that work.

Other honorees will be announced at a later date.
The Television Industry Advocacy Awards, which benefit The Creative Coalition, will be held on September 16, 2017, in Hollywood, CA. The ceremony is hosted by TV Guide Magazine and TV Insider with support from BBVA Compass.
