Tracee Ellis Ross, who stars on the new ABC comedy series “Black-ish,” will receive the 2015 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Television Chairman’s Award during the NAB Show Television Luncheon. 

“Tracee Ellis Ross is a gifted talent who brings wit and style to the roles that she plays, most recently on ABC’s breakout hit comedy ‘Black-ish’,” said Marcellus Alexander, NAB Executive Vice President of Television. “We are thrilled to honor her as this year’s Chairman’s Award recipient."
