The Golden Plate is awarded for an individual's contributions to science, the arts, public service, sports and industry.[3][2] The first honorees were chosen by a national board of governors.[4][2] In 1985, Reynold's son, Wayne, and his son's wife, Catherine B. Reynolds took over the leadership.[1][5][6] In the 1990s, Reynolds moved the organization from Malibu, California, to Washington, D.C.[7] In 2007 the Catherine B. Reynolds Foundation donated $9 million.[7][5][8][9] On October 27, 2012, the Banquet of the Golden Plate celebrated its 50th anniversary in Washington D.C.[10] The Academy also hosts the International Achievement Summit each year, attended by graduate students from the U.S. and overseas. The summits were originally attended by high school students chosen based on their academic achievement and extracurricular activities.[11][12] With time the event evolving into a gathering of speakers and panelists which the Wall Street Journal called "perhaps the glitziest gathering of intellect and celebrity that no one has ever heard of."[13] References1. ^1 {{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/07/sports/hy-peskin-89-photographer-dies.html?_r=0|title=Obituary: Hy Peskin, 89, Photographer; Sharp Pictures, Sharp Angles|author=O'Connor, Anahad|date=June 7, 2005|newspaper=New York Times|accessdate=August 6, 2015}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite news |title=Banquet Will Honor 50 for Achievements |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=83NQAAAAIBAJ&sjid=KREEAAAAIBAJ&pg=7291,3510742&dq=Academy-of-achievement&hl=en |newspaper=The Milwaukee Sentinel |date=September 7, 1961 |accessdate=December 14, 2011}} 3. ^1 {{cite news |title=Dazzling Decorations, Fine Food: Golden Plate Planned for 1962: First Annual Event Wins High Praise |newspaper=Monterey Peninsula Herald |date=September 11, 1961 }} 4. ^{{cite news |title=Dazzling Decorations, Fine Food: Golden Plate Planned for 1962: First Annual Event Wins High Praise |newspaper=Monterey Peninsula Herald |date=September 11, 1961 }} 5. ^1 {{cite news |author =Schudel, Matt |url= https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/04/AR2005060401470.html |title= Brian Blaine Reynolds, Also Known as Hy Peskin, Dies; Accomplished Sports Photographer Founded Academy of Achievement |newspaper= Washington Post|date=June 5, 2005|accessdate=August 6, 2015}} 6. ^{{Cite journal|date=2002-12-07|title=Record Gift for Kennedy Center; Businesswoman Gives $100 Million To Building Fund|url=https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-388597.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924193541/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-388597.html|dead-url=yes|archive-date=2015-09-24}} 7. ^1 {{cite news |url= https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/dc-philanthropists-catherine-and-wayne-reynoldspledge-millions/2013/03/22/d743e03e-9303-11e2-8ea1-956c94b6b5b9_story.html |title=D.C. philanthropists Catherine and Wayne Reynolds pledge millions |newspaper= Washington Post|author =Montgomery, David |date=April 4, 2009|accessdate=August 6, 2015}} 8. ^{{cite news|author =Boyle, Katherine |title= Wayne Reynolds makes a lavish push for a bold plan for the Corcoran|date= March 29, 2013|url= https://articles.washingtonpost.com/2013-03-29/entertainment/38124043_1_the-corcoran-corcoran-gallery-board|work=The Washington Post}} 9. ^{{cite news|author1=Paley, Amit R. |author2=Strauss, Valerie |title=Student Loan Nonprofit a Boon for CEO|date=July 16, 2007|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/15/AR2007071501448.html|work=The Washington Post|accessdate=November 20, 2011}} 10. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/achievement-summit-brings-intellectual-rebels-together-in-dc/2012/10/28/02e70ae6-2125-11e2-bdfa-eebc58545bc7_story.html|title=‘Achievement summit’ brings intellectual rebels together in D.C.}} 11. ^{{cite news |url= |author =Burget Bailey, Annette|title= LEADERS GETS `SALUTE' FOR EXCELLENCE |publisher = LA Daily News|date=May 31, 1999}} 12. ^{{Cite journal|date=2003-05-04|title=You Have a Dream; Achievement Summiteers Bask in The Past and Presence of Greatness|url=https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-262773.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924191707/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-262773.html|dead-url=yes|archive-date=2015-09-24}} 13. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB932683816521474652|title=The Glitziest Gathering Nobody Knows: Academy Honors Students and Celebrities|last=Journal|first=Rachel Emma Silverman Staff Reporter of The Wall Street|work=WSJ|access-date=2017-10-02|language=en-US}} External links
