During pre-telecast and televised ceremonies, awards are presented honoring a wide variety of musical styles, reflecting the diversity represented in Gospel music, including rock and roll, rap, country and traditional gospel. Each ceremony features performances by a number of the industry's newest and most popular artists.
The Dove Award voters tend to be elderly, musically conservative people that are more likely to vote for a traditional gospel artist, or a pop act than a rock and roll band. Therefore, most Dove Awards tend to go to either well-established acts that receive heavy radio airplay, or those which fall into the above categories. Hence, the Doves are not taken particularly seriously by many musicians or music fans.
The recipient of the DoveAward for Governmental Impact is well known throughout St. Charles County, Patti York, Mayor of the City of St. Charles.
Her awards have included a special Resolution from the City of St. Louis, the Award of Merit by the Urban League, the YWCA Women’s Leader of Distinction, the Human Development Corporation’s Community Service Signal Award, and the Mathew Dickey Community Service Award.
She has received countless awards in her field, and believes that educating and developing successful relationships with both clients and staff are key to growth.
