Hope Media Group has unveiled its Legacy Award at the 2024 Hope United Conference, which took place last week at the Lanier Theological Library and Learning Center in Houston.
This award recognizes a current team member whose contributions have significantly influenced the ministry’s growth and mission. Jon Hull, Vice President of Donor Acquisition, received the inaugural Legacy Award, acknowledging his remarkable 28-year service and legendary status in the industry.
The Legacy Award was created to recognize an individual whose dedication has significantly shaped Hope Media Group, ensuring the ministry’s long-lasting impact. Hull’s decades of service exemplify this spirit, as his commitment to excellence, humility and tireless service have touched countless lives, both within and outside the organization.
“Hope Media Group is only able to fulfill its mission because of the dedication and talent of our team,” said CEO Joe Paulo. “Jon Hull is one such individual whose leadership, character, and service has left an indelible mark on not only the ministry, but also the industry, and we are honored to recognize his legacy.”
During the conference, the Founder’s Award was presented to Brent Sears, the Station Manager of WayFM Colorado. This annual accolade recognizes team members who embody the vision established by the ministry’s founders: Bob and Felice Augsburg, and Chuck (“Buddy”) and Gloria Lay. Their unwavering faith, sacrifices, and innovative spirit continue to inspire the mission of Hope Media Group today.
