John Fithian, longtime head of the National Association Of Theatre Owners, has received the Lifetime Achievement Award from Variety of Southern California, as he prepares to step down after overseeing NATO through decades of transition.

The award from the children’s charity goes each year to an individual who has made a significant and profound charitable impact over the course of their career.

Fithian was named NATO president and CEO in 2000 after serving as outside counsel. Last fall, he announced plans to retire effective May 1 and will pass the baton to new chief Michael O’Leary at CinemaCon in Las Vegas later this month.
