Each nomination category is broad and may apply to multiple types of nominees. For example, public service nominations can include community volunteers or a public official that has positively impacted the community. Business nominees can be either a business person or business itself. Sports nominees have included athletes, sports administrators, and coaches, including careers in Warren County and beyond. Arts and entertainment nominees also may have careers that stretched beyond the county. Military service nominees may be active or veteran members of the armed services.

Last year’s inductees included Sal Simonetti, Kathleen Halpin, John McCann, Tomas Gonzales, and Dr. Robert Friedman. Other inductees over the years include Christopher Maier, Norman Worth, Mattar Mattar, Ed Rossi, Richard Maguire, Steve Gandley, Nancy Brown, Doug Steinhardt, and Richard Cotton.

All nominees must have strong ties to Warren County, which can include a current or former resident, or someone who works or serves in the county.
