Wendell Woody Pathfinder Awards
The Wendell Woody Pathfinder award was established in 1997 to recognize an elite group of cable industry professionals who actively participated for at least 20 years and made a significant impact on the industry during that time.
New members must be nominated by a Pathfinder from a different company and be endorsed by a Pathfinder not associated with their company.
