Years, type of service, awards, accomplishments and committee activity will be considered. Letters of recommendation and other documentation supporting the nominee are welcome.

 

SELECTION PROCESS

Each section may nominate only one person by the last Friday in June of each year. A subcommittee of the National League Committee will review the nominations and make the selection in July.
