HALL OF FAME NOMINATION APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

​

The Hall of Fame Committee (HOFC) would like to thank you for taking the first step in becoming a participant in the Troopers Hall of Fame (HOF) nomination process. As a Nominator, you play the most important role in this process, because without your willingness to complete this application, the individual you are preparing to nominate may never be considered for this honor. The HOFC is a resource for you and should be contacted in the event you have questions regarding the selection of your nominee, the application form, or the nomination process.

 

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

​

1. Preview the application form to learn what information is required.

 

2. Categories. You may submit nominees for the following categories:

 

Note: A contributor is limited to a staff member or volunteer of the Troopers organization. The Hall of Fame Committee will be the final arbiter of any question of qualifying role and determine the candidate's eligibility for the selected category. 

 

• Heritage - Any person who has contributed to the Troopers organization prior to 25 years ago will be considered in this category.

• Contemporary – Any person who has contributed to the Troopers organization within the last 25 years. 

 

3. Discuss the application with your nominee.

• Provide accurate information regarding their years of association with the Troopers organization, their areas of involvement within the organization and their achievements, contributions and accomplishments.

• Provide detailed context for why they should be inducted. Family and other Alumni can assist with Heritage nominees.

• The HOFC evaluates nominations solely on the information you submit. You should assume that your application will be the first time the reviewer is learning about your nominee. Who better to advocate for your nominee than your nominee?

 

4. Select one individual to write a letter of support that can effectively advocate for your nominee's contributions and achievements in addition to the answers to application questions submitted by the nominator.

• Only one letter of support will be accepted for each nominee.

• Ideally, the letter of support should address a different aspect of the nominee from the answers provided in the application. 

• Authors for letters of support may write only one letter of support in the current year.  

• Individuals you select to write letters of support may not be on the Hall of Fame Committee, but any HOF member could be among your selection. (See Trooper website, HOF page for names of the committee members.) 

• Letters of support must be uploaded with the application form.

 

5. Submit your completed nomination which includes the application form and one letter of support.

• Form allows you to input information in stages as long as you remember to select the “save and continue later” link at the bottom of the form. 

• You have until 11:59 pm on February 22nd Mountain Time to submit your nomination submission.  

• Once you have completed the application, hit “Submit” to send it. A complete confirmation copy will be emailed within minutes.

• Please retain a copy of your submission.

 

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

​

1. Review by Hall of Fame Committee. The HOFC will review your submission to ensure that your nominee meets the requirements of the category selected and includes one letter of support. An incomplete submittal will be returned.

​

2. Incomplete submittals will be returned to nominator. The submittal may be revised and resubmitted by the deadline. No time extensions will be granted.

​

3. Nomination submission is only considered for the current year. If your submission is not selected for the ballot, or selected for the ballot but not inducted, you must resubmit at a later time. Submissions will not automatically roll over for future HOF consideration.

​

4. For more information on the HOF nomination, selection, screening and voting processes, reference the Hall of Fame Guidelines and Rules posted in the HOF section of the Troopers website – https://www.troopersdrumcorps.org/hall-of-fame

 

REMEMBER, IT BEGINS WITH YOU! Nominators play a critical role in the nominating process.
