Hall Of Fame Process
Official name shall be the Softball Alberta “Hall of Fame.”
Supervision and control of the “Hall” shall be governed by the Softball Alberta Executive and shall be administered by a volunteer committee to be appointed by the President annually.
The Softball Alberta President shall have the authority to name the chairman of the committee and four other individuals who shall oversee all nominations. Should there become a vacancy in any of the volunteer positions, the President will consider names as put forward by the committee.
All volunteer Hall of Fame positions shall be re-appointed on a yearly basis at the discretion of the President and the Executive committee.
All persons appointed to the committee shall be residents of Alberta.
Duties may include:
- Advising that the deadline for nominations shall be April 1st annually to the Executive Director of the Association.
- Examining and investigating all nominations submitted for the awards.
Records of the awards given out annually shall be kept on file at the Softball Alberta office.
There shall be no more than five inductions annually. If there are more than five quality applications in any one year, the committee shall determine which five are the most deserving and reject or hold over any other worthy applications for the following year. The categories are as follows:
1. Athlete (Male or Female)
2. Official
3. Sport Builder
4. Team
CHAIRMAN’S CHOICE:
The chairman of the Hall of Fame committee shall make one choice annually in situations that warrant early induction into the Hall. This meaning that the chairman may make a recommendation to allow an induction of a person or persons, who have not been inactive for five (5) years or make the final decision as to what exactly “inactive” means.
Examples of this might be:
- A nomination of an individual worthy of induction who is terminally ill.
- A nomination of a person who is still “active” at a considerably lesser role than what he or she, or a team, has been nominated.
- Or, any other circumstance, deemed exceptional by the Chairman in consultation with the committee.
