Nomination Procedure

Nomination materials must be received by the NAHF office on or before March 1st each year. Any nomination package received after the dead line will be considered the following year.

Your candidate’s nomination will be screened by a subcommittee of the NAHF Board of Nominations before it is referred to the entire Board of Nominations, which consists of over 130 distinguished aviation experts nationwide who are elected by the NAHF Board of Trustees.

Once a year, the Board of Nominations votes by secret ballot on eligible nominees for enshrinement. Because the NAHF begins preparing for enshrinement over a year in advance, it could take up to 18 months from receipt of your nomination package to its first consideration by the Board of Nominations.
