AEM Hall of Fame nominees are judged on the same five guiding principles crucial to the health of the off-road equipment manufacturing industry. But what is it that makes a nomination stand out from the rest?

The five principles: innovation, industry contributions, leadership, corporate citizenship/social responsibility and sustainability.

• Documentation and clear communication of the nominee's "above and beyond" qualities and accomplishments

• Qualities of honesty, fairness, and supportiveness
• The individual's contribution to his/her vocation and profession
• Data on how the nominee made a difference in customer and employee success
• The ripple effect of the individual's contributions
• Description of the nominee's vision and how it was manifested
