Dameon Campbell, vice president, Technical & Network Operations, Comcast Midwest, was honored with the 2024 Upper Midwest Board of Governors Emmy® Award at the 25th Annual Upper Midwest Emmys® Regional Awards Show.
Campbell was recognized as part of a group for his role at Black Entrepreneurs Day, which was sponsored by Comcast and held at the Minnesota State Capital in February.
The National Academy of Television Arts & Science – Upper Midwest Chapter Board of Governors Award is the most prestigious Regional Emmy® Award in the organization’s chapter. The selection of Black Entrepreneurs Day for the award, voted on solely by the chapter’s board, was unanimous.
On Feb. 16, 2024, Black Entrepreneurs Day brought hundreds of Black business owners to the Minnesota State Capital in St. Paul, where broadcaster and influencer Sheletta Brundidge used her small business and production company Sheletta Makes Me Laugh to create and cover the event live, including multi-camera coverage carried on KARE 11.
Viewers who tuned into the broadcast got the chance to listen to inspiring stories told by Black small business owners at the “Rally in the Rotunda” and heard from elected leaders, legislators, and policy makers.
“It was such an honor to be part of the Black Entrepreneurs Day at the Capitol,” said Campbell. “At Comcast, we strongly support the growth of small businesses and entrepreneurs that share our commitment to uplifting their local communities and driving economic growth.”
