NOMINATION CRITERIA

A. The nominee shall be an individual who has made a SIGNIFICANT contribution to aviation and/or space history and development in Western New York. The individual may be living or deceased and need not presently be a resident of Western New York. NOTE: For the purposes of Hall of Fame nominations Western New York is defined as comprising Niagara, Erie, Orleans, Genesee, Wyoming, Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Monroe, Livingston, Allegany, Wayne, Ontario, Yates, Steuben, Seneca, Schuyler, and Chemung Counties. Although contributions must have specifically occurred and benefited Western New York, contributions made in other locations will be recognized and credited but with reduced weighting. However, simply having lived a portion of one’s life in Western New York and making contributions to aviation and space elsewhere is not in itself sufficient.

B. Evaluation of the significance of a contribution must consider the state of the art at the time the contribution was made. Early contributions, which may seem primitive in light of today’s knowledge, may have been truly significant at the time. Contributions in all fields of aeronautical and space activity, such as management, R & D, piloting, manufacturing, flight operations, education, promotion of general interest in aviation and space, etc. will be recognized. It is important that the submitter provide information that defines what the individual did and what the significance of the contribution was. The more complete and definitive the information submitted, the greater the chances of selection.

C. All nominations will be reviewed upon submission and the nominator notified as to its acceptance for consideration or whether additional data is needed.

D. All acceptable nominations will be reviewed and voted on by the Niagara Frontier Aviation & Space Hall of Fame Board during March each year with formal induction in the second quarter of the year.

NOMINATION REQUIREMENTS

The first page of the nomination package will consist of a 150-250 word narrative summarizing the nominee’s accomplishments and their significance.

Additional documentation supporting the written narrative is encouraged but not required. This can include, but is not limited to:

  • Additional written narrative not part of the 150-250 word summary
  • Newspaper or magazine articles
  • Technical papers or their abstracts written by the nominee
  • Copies of patents or awards
  • Company or other biographies
  • References or attestations to the qualifications of the nominee by colleagues
