Selection Process
A screening committee selects a group of between 25 and 40 candidates for consideration, which have been submitted by the public throughout the previous year. Files detailing the qualifications of each candidate are reviewed by the committee and a list of 25 names are placed on the official ballot. This official ballot is mailed to all Voting Members of the organization, which include all past directors, inductees, and Life Members. The ballots are counted, and in July of each year, the winners are notified. Those who accept are honored at the annual banquet in October, and a plaque with their name is displayed prominently at the city's Community Center.

Famous quotes containing the words selection and/or process:
“Every writer is necessarily a critic—that is, each sentence is a skeleton accompanied by enormous activity of rejection; and each selection is governed by general principles concerning truth, force, beauty, and so on.... The critic that is in every fabulist is like the iceberg—nine-tenths of him is under water.”
—Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)
“Science and art are only too often a superior kind of dope, possessing this advantage over booze and morphia: that they can be indulged in with a good conscience and with the conviction that, in the process of indulging, one is leading the “higher life.””
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
