My hope is that those attending this event will take a moment to speak with Bobbi and witness her enthusiasm for life and her craft. ….. and humor. Bobbi Banks, congratulations on this "Fellowship & Service Award". I cannot think of anyone more deserving. I am honored to be your friend. SANAA KELLEY R E E L F O L E Y S O U N D I first met Bobbi years ago when she was supervising a show at WB, and from the very beginning I was blown away by her presence. She is one of those rare people who combines extraordinary talent with genuine warmth. Bobbi has a gift for knowing exactly what a project needs sonically, and she communicates her vision with such clarity and grace. Even when asking for changes, she explained the "why" behind them in a way that made you feel guided and supported, never criticized. Working with her has always felt like a true creative partnership. Over the years, I've had the privilege of collaborating with Bobbi on multiple shows and films, and each time she continues to inspire me with her artistry and her spirit. Beyond her professional brilliance, she is selfless, generous, and deeply committed to uplifting others. She gives her time freely, mentors with an open heart, and continues to serve our industry with distinction, including her leadership as a governor for the Television Academy Creative Arts. I am truly honored to know Bobbi, and even more honored to call her a friend. Her impact on me, and on so many others, goes far beyond the work…we are better for having her in our lives. PETER DEVLIN S O U N D M I X E R It has been a pleasure to get to know you over the years, as well as listen to your celebrated work on the big screen! I have served on committees with you, and you truly commit yourself to worthy causes. Your mentorship has impacted many, and you truly have "passed it on." Enjoy your evening, and this award, which is so well deserved. ANDY NELSON S O U N D E N G I N E E R So happy to see Bobbi receive this Fellowship and Service Award. I have worked with, and known Bobbi for many years, both on the mixing stages, and also on AMPAS committees. She is tireless in her commitment to this industry, and she is very deserving of this award. Congratulations to Bobbi. Banks Notes
