MG Of The Strategic Edge Named As Grand Jury Judge For Television And Film Awards

March 27, 2017 – – Meredith Gardner, Ph.D., of The Strategic Edge, has been named as Grand Jury Judge for the 2017 New York Festivals International Television & Film Awards. Meredith has announced that she recently received notification from Executive Director Rose Anderson informing her of the appointment.

“I have been a judge for the NY Festivals for more than 15 years,” says Gardner. “What a privilege it is to be exposed to so many different points of view; mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, as well as documenting people, places, and experiences from around the world.”

The New York Festival’s World’s Best TV & Films competition honors features from more than 50 countries in a variety of lengths and forms. The Festival is dedicated to both TV and film, mirroring categories of global trends. Its purpose is to encourage talented storytellers of tomorrow and categories include animation, drama, music videos, news, and various others.

The awards are judged by award winning producers, actors, writers, directors, and others in the creative media profession. Gardner states that she has been honored to have been part of the Festival for the past 15 years and looks forward to continue to serve as judge in the future.

Gardner says, “It is truly an honor and it is exciting. How else would I know about a 1.7 billion mile journey to the most dangerous planet, or what about China’s left behind; a troubling social issue where the old, very young and girls stay back in the village while the parents go to Beijing where they find work. These are all things that I have learned through a documentary while taking part in this exciting venture.”

Meredith Gardner is the founder of The Strategic Edge and a noted behavioral psychologist, executive coach, and corporate consultant. She is an author and speaker and has been a media guest on multiple occasions. Over the years, she has been seen on such popular programming as Bloomberg News, the Wall Street Journal Radio Network, and CNN Radio, and has been a substitute host on WOR 710 AM in New York in addition to hosting her own radio program.
