C. The committee will meet each November to review the candidates and vote on that year’s induction class.

• a. Each committee member will receive all nomination packets and ranking forms prior to arrival at the scheduled meeting.
• b. Each member will be responsible for evaluating all the nominees prior to the scheduled committee meeting.

D. The Selection Committee shall decide one of four options for each nominee:

• a. Approved—Induction into the HOF set for the next Conference.
• b. Hold for Future Consideration—in most cases, this indicates that additional information and supportive material would be helpful for future consideration.
• c. Inactive—Nominee no longer considered for induction unless re-nominated after a one-year waiting period.
• d. Denied – Nominee does not meet the criteria for induction into the NCADA HOF.

E. All nominees recommended by the HOF Committee will go before the Board of Directors for final approval.

F. A nominee that is not selected shall be considered no more than three consecutive years but may be considered again after a one-year absence; however, the nominee must be re-nominated.

Two Categories of nominees;

A. All nominees shall have a minimum of 10 years of service as an Athletic Administrator in North Carolina.
