Induction Process
The Induction Process
The selection process begins each spring as the selection committee begins meeting. Each committee member brings names of potential Hall of Fame candidates. More information gathering is done and the final selections are made in late summer. Each selectee is then notified and the formal induction takes place at a November banquet.
The committee wants and needs your help to select the most deserving from among the many athletes who have excelled here. You may contact any member of the selection committee with the name and information of a Hall of Fame candidate. Please look over the selection criteria on this website.
Be sure to include all important aspects of the nominee’s Elkhart County sports career: When and where graduated, sports played, points scored, honor teams selected (All-State, All-County, etc.), awards earned, college or pro career (if applicable), notable wartime and civic service and any other vital information. In the case of volunteers, cite years of contribution. Coaches would need overall records, years coached at various schools and titles won during his/her tenure. In order to be considered for selection to the Elkhart County Sports Hall of Fame, the committee must have complete written information from which to base its judgments.
