for the past 23 years. As such, Hall of Fame inductees chosen to receive this prestigious award should not
only meet the high standards established for the honor, but they should be individuals of character and
integrity, who are also noted for their community involvement.
Hall of Fame Nominees will be contacted and asked to provide a professional vitae or resume and additional
supportive material. Young Alumni nominees must be 40 years or younger to be nominated for this award. The
Advancement Committee of the Anderson School of Management Foundation reviews all nominees and determines
whether they meet the criteria. A sub-committee of board members and past honorees makes the final selection.
