List of National Lacrosse Hall of Fame Members - Nomination and Induction Process

Nomination and Induction Process

The process of nomination and induction of individuals is the same for men and women (although the processes are run separately) and is as follows:

  1. Nominations are made through questionnaires which are kept on file with US Lacrosse and are expected to be kept up-to-date. Nominations must designate a category (see Induction Categories below).
  2. After reviewing and evaluating all questionnaires, the Nomination Committees selects the top 25 candidates believed to be the best qualified for election.
  3. An alphabetized list of candidates is mailed to all Hall of Fame voters (suggested to be at least 50).
  4. Voters rank who they believe to be the 15 most-qualified candidates on a scale of 1 to 15 (1 being most qualified) and return the ballot to the Nomination Committees.
  5. The Nomination Committees tabulates the results from the ballots.
  6. The top 15 candidates, as tabulated from the ballots, will become the pool of individuals the Nomination Committees choose from for induction.
  7. The Nomination Committees choose five individuals to nominate to the US Lacrosse Board of Directors (USL BOD).
  8. After presentations by the Nomination Committees, the USL BOD will choose a maximum of five inductees from each group, men's and women's.

Famous quotes containing the words nomination, induction and/or process:

    “Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    “They relieve and recommend each other, and the sanity of society is a balance of a thousand insanities. She punishes abstractionists, and will only forgive an induction which is rare and casual.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The invention of photography provided a radically new picture-making process—a process based not on synthesis but on selection. The difference was a basic one. Paintings were made—constructed from a storehouse of traditional schemes and skills and attitudes—but photographs, as the man on the street put, were taken.”
    —Jean Szarkowski (b. 1925)
