Plaque says: "2001 Telly Award Welch Nehlen Groome NorthShore / LIJ Health Sys Family" . Would make a great trophy for an office award, Toastmasters club, or for an outstanding achievement. You would just need to have a new plaque engraved (or turn the existing one over) and attach it to the base. It is a very substantial trophy ... weighs about 5 pounds.
