Tell us where and during what time frame they were active and what their current status is in the industry today. This person(s) is not necessarily required to have been a NMEDA member and you can nominate more than one person. Also, keep in mind that just because a person is nominated doesn’t guarantee admittance to the Hall of Fame and if they are not chosen one year they can be re-nominated in subsequent years.
