             Nominations.
                 a. Nominations to the Hall of Fame may be made by any certified member of the USBC by submitting a typewritten, detailed history of the accomplishments and achievements of the nominee the IS USBC BA association manager, who shall acknowledge their receipt.  All nominations must be in the hands of the association manager by September 1st to qualify for selection the same year. Those received after September 1st will be held over until the following year. Copies of the resumes will be submitted to the members of the HOF nominating committee before October 1st.

    When submitting a resume, keep in mind that you are submitting for inclusion to the State Hall of Fame. Although, an individual may have been a catalyst in your local association, but never having accomplished anything further in the area, they may not be qualified to the Delegates. The emphasis of submission should be on district/state-wide recognition and involvement.

All resumes must be submitted to:

Association Manager

The attached form may be used for submission by Snail-mail.

INFORMATION - 
     There have been questions as to why resumes of the HOF members are not included with the pictures. As most of the HOF members came from the old manual yearbook, where that would have been excessive information, it would not be equitable to the HOF members unless all had resumes included. Many have been lost over the years and most of the information has not been kept current. Unfortunately, most is not available.
