Level 4: International Recognized Achievements

Selection Process 

-          The Hall of Fame Committee shall consist of a Chairperson, 6 or more members and one or more advisors.

 

-          The nomination forms will be circulated by the Committee Chair to all committee members. If the nominee is a committee member, the member will not participate in the evaluation process. The committee member will recuse himself/herself because of a conflict of interest. The remaining committee members will complete the evaluation.

 hierarchy level based on the criteria. The information will be E-mailed to the Committee chair.

-          Phase 2:

 

o        Decide on induction or hold nomination on file

§         Each committee member will be notified by the Committee chair as to the Award level agreed upon in Phase 1.

§         The committee members will proceed to assess whether the nominee meets the criteria.
