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:
- 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).
- After reviewing and evaluating all questionnaires, the Nomination Committees selects the top 25 candidates believed to be the best qualified for election.
- An alphabetized list of candidates is mailed to all Hall of Fame voters (suggested to be at least 50).
- 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.
- The Nomination Committees tabulates the results from the ballots.
- The top 15 candidates, as tabulated from the ballots, will become the pool of individuals the Nomination Committees choose from for induction.
- The Nomination Committees choose five individuals to nominate to the US Lacrosse Board of Directors (USL BOD).
- 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:
“In ancient times—’twas no great loss—
They hung the thief upon the cross:
But now, alas!—I say’t with grief—
They hang the cross upon the thief.”
—Anonymous. “On a Nomination to the Legion of Honour,” from Aubrey Stewart’s English Epigrams and Epitaphs (1897)
“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)
“At last a vision has been vouchsafed to us of our life as a whole. We see the bad with the good.... With this vision we approach new affairs. Our duty is to cleanse, to reconsider, to restore, to correct the evil without impairing the good, to purify and humanize every process of our common life, without weakening or sentimentalizing it.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
