Short, a member of the fund's corporate board of directors, is being honored for his service to the organization. Nod will be presented Oct. 20 at MPTF's annual "A Fine Romance" fund-raiser, hosted by Catherine Zeta-Jones and Hugh Jackman.
The Silver Medallion Award was established in 1942. Past recipients include Lew Wasserman, Jean Hersholt, Gregory Peck, Jules Stein, Mary Pickford and Kirk and Anne Douglas.
David Tillman, prexy-CEO of the fund, said, "In his combined role as international president of IATSE and MPTF board member, (Short) has strengthened MPTF and enabled us to expand our mission beyond the walls of our campus to serve not only members of the IATSE but also everyone in the industry."
Short has been president of IATSE since 1994.
