Britt was recognized as a visionary leader in the telecommunications industry. He served on the boards of various organizations, including Xerox Corporation and the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA). Britt's contributions to the industry were honored with several awards, including induction into the
Broadcasting & Cable Hall of Fame in 2011. The Britts' donation is the largest bequest for scholarships in Dartmouth's 255-year history. The Tuck School will receive one-fourth of the Britts' gift, making it "the largest single outright gift" in Tuck's history. During their lifetimes, the Britts were active Dartmouth donors and established the Britt Impact Technology Series at the Glassmeyer/McNamee Center for Digital Strategies at the Tuck School. == Personal life ==
