The Tire Industry Association (TIA) is now accepting nominations for the 2017 Tire Industry Hall of Fame. The deadline for nominations is July 3, 2017.
The Hall of Fame honors individuals in the tire industry, including manufacturers, inventors, publishers, equipment suppliers, tire association executives, tire dealers, tire and rubber recyclers and retreaders. The Hall of Fame may be awarded posthumously.
Inductees are chosen based on the following criteria:
– Contributions of new ideas
– Practices promoting the well-being of the tire industry
– Service that is exemplary within the tire industry
– Respect towards their peers
– Contributions in civic, cultural, educational, or charitable endeavors will be considered, but are not a primary consideration as attributes for selection.
“The Tire Industry Hall of Fame is one of our most prestigious honors that we award each year,” said Roy Littlefield, executive vice president of the TIA. “We are looking forward to selecting a new group of individuals who have been committed to making a significant impact within the tire industry.”
The Hall of Fame Inductions will take place on October 30, as part of TIA’s Tire Industry Honors Awards Ceremony, which takes place prior to the Global Tire Expo/SEMA Show on Oct. 31 – Nov. 3, 2017.
A nomination form is available on tireindustry.org/hall-fame. For questions regarding the Hall of Fame, contact TIA Director of Marketing LeAnn Harley at [email protected] or 301.430.7280 x102.
