The Golden Plate is an annual award presented by the Academy of Achievement to accomplished individuals for significant achievement in their field.[1] Since the Academy's foundation in 1961, over 1,000 honorees have received the award, including Nobel Prize winners, presidents, scientists, athletes, authors and entertainers.[2] Each year 20 awardees are chosen by an awards council composed of past recipients of the "Golden Plate", according to the Academy.[3]

The first awards ceremony was held in September 1961, in Monterey, California. At this event, the Academy awarded the "Golden Plate" to 50 individuals chosen by a national board of governors for their contributions as leaders in science, the arts, public service and industry.[4]
