The RV/MH Hall of Fame is reminding industry members the deadline for accepting nominations for next year’s Hall of Fame class is 5 p.m. ET Nov. 30.
All submissions should be delivered to the Hall of Fame by that time.
To be eligible, nominees must be, or have been, an active participant in any segment of the RV or manufactured housing industries for at least 25 years. The Hall of Fame’s board of directors can choose a nominee who falls short of the 25-year threshold but will exercise that power only in special circumstances.
The nomination form must be filled out in its entirety and must be accompanied by three supporting letters (no more, no less) that meet the Hall’s guidelines for these letters. Incomplete nominations cannot be considered.
If the nominee is not selected within five years, he or she remains eligible only if the nomination is resubmitted and refreshed with additional information.
The selection committee will consider the nominee’s overall contributions to the good of the industry, to include both his or her positions, accomplishments and innovations on the job as well as volunteer work both inside and outside the industry. A special emphasis will be given to volunteer work done on behalf of state and national associations and owner groups, the Hall of Fame itself and other industry-related organizations and causes.
Favorable responses to these two basic questions are good starting points for Hall consideration:
- Is the nominee a respected, accomplished, honorable person who has done right by his or her business partners?
- Has the nominee contributed to the good of the industry beyond doing his or her job well?
Nomination forms are available online here. For more information, email Executive Vice President Ryan Szklarek at [email protected].
