Thomas DeGaetani Award

Thomas DeGaetani Award, named in honor of the first USITT president, honors an outstanding lifetime contribution to the Performing Arts Community by an individual living and/or working in the area where the Annual Conference & Stage Expo is held. Traditionally the Conference Committee consults with regional representatives on the Conference Committee and members of the Regional Section and then makes a recommendation that is reviewed by the Awards Committee and then approved by the Board of Directors. The award was first given in 1983.
