Branford Sports Hall of Fame

Selection Process

The Branford Sports Hall of Fame has a two-part selection process.

An individual who has brought honor and distinction to the Town of

Branford through athletics may be nominated via a written nomination

form, accompanied by comprehensive documentation to support the

nominee’s candidacy. To be considered for a particular year, a

nomination form must be received one week prior to the annual

Nomination Meeting which is held in June. Nominations are held in

perpetuity or until a candidate is inducted into the Hall of Fame. No

nominations will be accepted in other than written form, accompanied

by documentation.

At the annual Nomination Meeting, written information about nominees

(completed nomination forms and supporting documentation) is presented

to the Selection Committee in a Booklet of Nominees. Members of the

committee review the nominee’s credentials and share information about

the nominees. A Selection Meeting is held within a month to select inductees

via secret ballot.

The Selection Committee is comprised of three groups: (1) previously

inducted members of the Branford Sports Hall of Fame, (2) individuals

who hold the leadership positions of Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer,

Media Coordinator, Director of the Branford Recreation Department,

Ticket Coordinator, Fund Raising Coordinator, Web Site Coordinator,

Program Coordinator and committee members who do assigned research for

the Hall of Fame. Only members of the Selection Committee may attend

the Selection Meeting, each is entitled to one vote per ballot.
