Nomination Process

Nominations are accepted at any time during the year. 

Nominations received by July 15th will be considered for the current year.  Nomination forms received after July 15th will be considered for the following year induction.  Please review the Nominee Criteria and complete the Hall of Fame Nomination Form to submit a candidate for consideration. The nominees must have achieved success in sales or in another functional area of insurance and risk management, have helped to create or have served as an officer of an agency or company, or have been affiliated with the insurance and risk management industry in another capacity.  Selection criteria will also include a strong value system and a firm commitment of service to the community and state. If you submitted a nomination within the past five years and the individual has not yet been inducted, we kindly ask that you resubmit it, as we may not have received or retained the original submission.

The Selection Committee will need biographical data about your nominees and supportable reasons why they should be included. Any documentation you provide will be helpful in the selection process. The committee appreciates well-prepared, brief, precise submissions with salient points highlighted in bullet points. Dossiers of those not selected will be kept on file and will automatically be considered for three years.
