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:

    “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)

    “One might get the impression that I recommend a new methodology which replaces induction by counterinduction and uses a multiplicity of theories, metaphysical views, fairy tales, instead of the customary pair theory/observation. This impression would certainly be mistaken. My intention is not to replace one set of general rules by another such set: my intention is rather to convince the reader that all methodologies, even the most obvious ones, have their limits.”
    —Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)

    “When you start with a portrait and search for a pure form, a clear volume, through successive eliminations, you arrive inevitably at the egg. Likewise, starting with the egg and following the same process in reverse, one finishes with the portrait.”
    —Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
