Salina Hall of Fame Nominations

Nominations being accepted for Salina Business Hall of Fame

 

Nominations are being solicited for inductees into the 2015 class of the Salina Business Hall of Fame.

The Chamber established the Hall of Fame in 2005 to honor prominent business leaders both past and present, who have made extraordinary contributions to Salina, earned the respect of the Salina community, and exemplified the Free Enterprise system.

Categories for nominations include:
• Pioneer Award, 1858-1925
• Historic Award, 1926-1975
• Contemporary Award, 1976-present

So far, 34 persons have been inducted into the Business Hall of Fame. Nominations can be made by Chamber members and the general public. Nominees will be considered on the basis of several criteria which include business excellence, entrepreneurial spirit, courageous thinking and action, inspiring leadership, community impact, positive role model, enduring accomplishments and local influence. Individuals nominated in past years will be considered again this year. A special task force will determine the inductees. The inductees will be honored at a luncheon in
the fall. A portrait of each inductee will be displayed in the physical Business Hall of Fame, located at the Chamber office.

A nomination form with selection criteria is enclosed. Forms are also available
at the Chamber office, 120 W. Ash, and can be downloaded by clicking on “Hall of Fame” on the Chamber’s website homepage www.salinakansas.org. The deadline for nominations is 5pm Friday, July 10.
