Hall of Fame Nomination Deadline July 1

Nominations close Thursday, July 1 for the 2010 class for the Tire Industry Hall of Fame.

The Hall of Fame is open to individuals in the tire industry, including manufacturers, inventors, publishers, equipment suppliers, tire association executives, tire dealers, tire and rubber recyclers and retreaders.

Inductees are chosen based on their contributions of new ideas, practices and/or innovations that promote the health and well-being of the tire industry; their exemplary and distinguished service in the tire industry; and the respect of their peers. Contributions in civic, cultural, educational or charitable endeavors will be considered, but are not a primary consideration as attributes for selection.

A nomination form is available in the “Hall of Fame” tab under the “About” menu item at TIA’s website – tireindustry.org – or by calling TIA at 301-430-7280, ext. 109.

The Hall of Fame inductions will take place Nov. 1 as part of TIA’s Tire Industry Honors event, which is a part of the Global Tire Expo Powered by TIA/SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nev.
