NMEDA Hall of Fame
Some contributions to this industry go beyond a career. They define it.
This industry exists because of people who chose to build it. Since 2011, the NMEDA Hall of Fame has recognized the individuals whose vision, perseverance, and commitment to quality made the adaptive mobility equipment industry what it is today, and expanded independence for people with disabilities across the US and Canada.
Induction is NMEDA’s highest honor, reserved for those whose contributions go beyond the work, and whose impact is still felt today.
Know Someone Who Belongs Here?
The Hall of Fame grows because this community speaks up. If you know someone whose contributions to the adaptive mobility equipment industry deserve recognition, whether they are a dealer, an advocate, a manufacturer, or a clinician, we want to hear about them.
Nominations are open. The deadline to submit is October 31, 2026.
