 Inductee Criteria to the IWSA Hall of Fame

(Draft Dated 6/2/99)
The Hall of Fame was created to recognize individuals who have made extraordinary contributions and excelled in the sport of water skiing in the State of Indiana. The purpose of the Hall-of-Fame is to honor and perpetuate the names of skiers, pioneers, industry leaders, and officials whose accomplishments have made a major impact on organized water skiing in Indiana.
Inductions will generally take place annually for those elected into the Hall. There is no requirement that candidates be retired from the sport or be deceased to be considered for inclusion to the Hall-of-Fame. (Recommend a minimum of 15-20 years of active participation in the sport)
As with any Hall-of-Fame selection process it is recognized that every candidate will have different and unique resumes for consideration. The following criteria serve as guidelines and are not inclusive for eligibility.

CATEGORIES
There are four main categories to be considered for eligibility: Pioneer, Competitor, Official and or Industry Leader. Candidates are to be submitted noting one category as the major category as the major area for appointment while background in other areas will be included as secondary.

NOMINATIONS
Nominations are to be submitted ( IWSA President) to the IWSA Board of Directors by November 1 for recognition in the following year. Nominations must be in writing and should include as much information as possible on the candidate since this will form the basis for consideration by the Board. Emphasis should be noted of the unique and distinguishing achievements or contributions of the individual being proposed. Validation will be confirmed when practical. One candidate per nominator per year is allowed.

ELIGIBILITY FOR PIONEERS
This category is intended for people whose contributions to the sport are considered to be original. A new method or technical development by innovators and inventors are examples. Also individuals whose qualifications relate to the introduction of a new or specific discipline should be viewed under this category.

ELIGIBILITY FOR COMPETITIVE SKIERS
A skier’s tournament placement record at in-state local tournaments and the Indiana State Championships are major factors to be considered. Other qualifications include placements at Regional, National, Masters, World Championships and the Pro Tour. Records established in all age divisions during the skiers career should be highlighted in addition to any competitive record in other disciplins.

ELIGIBILITY FOR OFFICIALS
Individuals whose major contribution was as an official. Included are Judges, Drivers, Safety, Administrators, Officers and Promoters of our sport. Level (or ranking) obtained and specific assignments as a tournament official should be highlighted. This category will recognize those with long periods of dedicated and generous volunteer service.
