Park Forest Hall of Fame Guidelines

• Nominations of people to be considered for induction may be made by any interested person, but must be
  made on the official form provided.
• Induction will be annual, so nominations will be solicited, with appropriate publicity, every year.
• Nomination forms will be available and may
  be submitted to the Park Forest Historical Society at any time through December 31.
• Each nominator may make only one nomination each year.
• Persons may be re-nominated in a later year if they have not been inducted on the first nomination.
• The nominator should provide a statement of recommendation listing accomplishments of the nominee. This statement will be crucial for the Hall of Fame committee.

Eligibility

• Individuals or couples may be nominated.
• Consideration shall be given to all nominees who have made consistent, substantial, and beneficial
  contributions to the life and citizens of Park Forest over a considerable span of time.
• Not eligible are those people whose contributions, however noteworthy, have or had nothing to do with the
  village. Also, not eligible are those who were in Park Forest only for a while, or only in their youth,
  who attained fame after leaving the village.
• Accomplishments must have contributed to Park Forest.
• Nominees who are deceased or no longer in the area are eligible for nomination and consideration if their
  contributions meet the requirements of item 2, above.
• Persons currently holding elective or appointive office in the village, or who are employed by the village,
  may be nominated, but the mere fact of current or past such office or employment shall not be an
  automatic reason for consideration.
• Eligibility is not limited to those most frequently recognized or well-known; persons from any walk of life
  are to be regarded as eligible—business, religious, educational, volunteer, community service of any kind.
