TIA has announced that the 2018 nomination period for the Tire Industry Hall of Fame is open, with a deadline of July 2. Nominations can be made at www.tireindustry.org/hall-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. 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.
“Each year we are honored to present the Hall of Fame award to individuals who have demonstrated great success within the tire industry, “said Roy Littlefield, executive vice president of the Tire Industry Association. “Our pool of candidates continues to impress us every year and we are looking forward to inducting another great group of industry leaders into our Hall of Fame class.”
The Hall of Fame Inductions will take place on Oct. 29 as part of TIA’s Tire Industry Honors Awards Ceremony, which takes place prior to the Global Tire Expo, powered by TIA, Oct. 30-Nov.1.
