Nominations may be made by anyone associated with the sporting goods industry. A nominee must be an individual – not a group or company.  Elections will be by Committee based on the evaluation of documented qualifications relative to established criteria and whether or not the individual has or is making a significant lasting contribution to sports and the sporting goods industry. Fame and financial success are not criteria. Nominations for individuals outside of the United States are accepted.

  • Be or have been in the sporting goods business at least 15 years.
  • Have good community standing.
  • Have made a significant contribution to the industry; local, state or national.
  • Support the industry.
  • Have conducted business professionally, honestly and with integrity.
