AEM Calls for Hall of Fame Nominations
July 14, 2010
The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) has announced the 2010 AEM Hall
of Fame program. The AEM Hall of Fame seeks to create a wider public
understanding and appreciation of the industry's role - not only in the past but
for the future - in global economic and social prosperity. Nominations may be
submitted starting July 1, 2010, and they must be made online the Hall of Fame site.
More than 30 industry leaders have
been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Below are details on participating in the
2010 program by nominating a key industry leader who meets the nominating
criteria for the Hall of Fame. As in past years, in 2010 nominees will be
evaluated by an independent panel of industry experts.
The Hall of Fame was created in 1993 to honor the pioneering
individuals who have invented, managed, built and led the off-road equipment
industry. The Hall of Fame is AEM’s way to recognize, celebrate and preserve the
history of these outstanding industry leaders.
To help individuals who are nominating candidates for the Hall
of Fame, click
here for a sample nomination form template. The online nomination form will
be live on July 1 and the deadline to make a nomination is July 15. Because the
nomination requirements are very specific, AEM suggests potential nominators
carefully review the following information about the submission
process:
As the sample template shows, candidates will be evaluated on
five criteria that are critical to the health of the equipment manufacturing
industry: 1) innovation, 2) industry contributions, 3) leadership, 4) corporate
citizenship/social responsibility and 5) sustainability. For each of these five
categories, nominators will be allowed to submit written pieces up to 1,500
characters each that support their nominee's candidacy to the AEM Hall of Fame.
In each category, AEM poses questions that will help nominators focus their
essays to explain in the best way possible why the nominee should be considered
for the AEM Hall of Fame.
AEM urges nominators to read the sample nomination form template
carefully in preparation for filling out the online form. When the online form
is being prepared, AEM suggests writing and reviewing the five nominating essays
in a word processing program and then pasting them into the online form. This
will help ensure submitting the most effective essays possible. The form’s
requested information about the Hall of Fame nominee/candidate (and nominator)
should also be filled out.
