UNM Anderson School Seeks Hall of Fame Nominations

UNM’s Ander­son School of Man­age­ment Foun­da­tion is accept­ing nom­i­na­tions for the 24th annual Hall of Fame and Young Alumni awards. The Hall of Fame cel­e­brates extra­or­di­nary men and women alumni who have made sig­nif­i­cant con­tri­bu­tions to the Ander­son School and the busi­ness community.

The Young Alumni awards rec­og­nize out­stand­ing Ander­son grad­u­ates 40 years old or younger who have dis­tin­guished them­selves in the short time since earn­ing their degree. Prospec­tive alumni can­di­dates must have demon­strated a com­mit­ment to con­tin­u­ing edu­ca­tion and com­mu­nity ser­vice matched by their com­mit­ment to pro­fes­sional success.

To nom­i­nate an Ander­son alum­nus in either cat­e­gory go to: Ander­son Hall of Fame Nom­i­na­tions.

Nom­i­nees will be con­tacted and asked to pro­vide a pro­fes­sional vitae or resume and addi­tional sup­port­ive mate­r­ial. The Advance­ment Com­mit­tee of the Ander­son School of Man­age­ment Foun­da­tion reviews all nom­i­nee sub­mis­sions and deter­mines whether they meet the required cri­te­ria. Fed­eral and State elected or appointed offi­cials (or per­sons actively seek­ing these offices) are inel­i­gi­ble for con­sid­er­a­tion for this award as they may be actively involved in fund­ing deci­sions affect­ing the Uni­ver­sity. They become eli­gi­ble after their pub­lic term has ended. All other offi­cials with no con­flict of inter­est or direct busi­ness with UNM are eli­gi­ble for this award. A panel of foun­da­tion board mem­bers and past hon­orees will make the final selections.

The dead­line for nom­i­na­tions is Mon­day, Sept. 17, 2012. The Hall of Fame awards ban­quet will be held on Thurs­day, March 7, 2013. For more infor­ma­tion, con­tact Sara Lucero at (505) 277‑6413.
