Terry Clifford and Tom Thomas
Working together for 30 years, Terry Clifford and Tom Thomas have played central roles in public radio. They have shaped policies at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, National Public Radio, federal agencies, and in Congress. They have advanced strategic thinking about public radio's programming, funding, technology, and public service mission. They have launched three national organizations and helped establish many new stations throughout the country. They advise the field's leading local broadcasters.

They have written key texts for the field, including comprehensive studies of public radio's listeners and programming, an overview of strategies for system expansion, and The Public Radio Legal Handbook. As co-founders and leaders of the National Federation of Community Broadcasters, they established community-based radio as an integral part of the public radio system.

CPB has recognized their work with its first Distinguished Service Award and the Edward R. Murrow Award, America's highest public radio honor.
