Valentine's Day may take the spotlight in February, but for the automotive aftermarket, it's an opportunity to reflect on a different kind of appreciation: recognizing the leaders who built the industry.
Nominations are open for the SEMA Hall of Fame, which honors individuals whose creativity, dignity, integrity, industriousness and accomplishments have left a profound mark on the specialty-equipment market.
Most professionals can name at least one person who has positively impacted their segment of the industry. The SEMA Hall of Fame exists to honor the ones who meet the criteria: the nominee must be at least 50 years old, have made outstanding contributions on an international level for more than 10 years (15 preferred) and have conducted themselves with a high degree of integrity both within and outside of their career.
Whether they pushed the boundaries of innovation, built a successful business, mentored future leaders or gave back through service and volunteerism, the SEMA Hall of Fame thanks them for the standards they set and the legacy they built. It ensures their story is documented and their influence is remembered.
By submitting a nomination, you're helping recognize the people who devoted their careers to building the aftermarket and ensure their contributions are honored for generations to come.
Don't miss your opportunity to pay tribute to those who built the industry. Nominate today at www.sema.org/hof.
