AEM Calls for Hall of Fame Nominations
April 1, 2008 • The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) has announced it is accepting nominations for inductees into the Construction Equipment Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame aims to create a wider public understanding and appreciation of the industry's role in global economic and social prosperity. It will help focus increased attention on issues such as infrastructure renewal and workforce shortages.
Any individual, living or deceased, whose achievements were made in the manufacturing, distribution, rental or end-user segments of the construction equipment industry can be nominated for the Hall of Fame. Anyone from the equipment and related industries may nominate an individual, and there is no limit to the number of nominations that may be submitted by a person or organization, but each nomination must include supporting documentation.
An individual's contributions may be from any aspect of the construction equipment industry, such as industry innovation, achievements, leadership, corporate citizenship/social responsibility, sustainability advancement, engineering or invention accomplishments, and educational impact. Specific information about the criteria is available at http://www.aem.org/News/HoF/PDF/NominationForm.pdf.
Nominations must be delivered by June 1. More information, including official nomination forms and instructions, are on the AEM website at http://www.aem.org/news/ and click on the hyperlinks under the Hall of Fame icon on the right hand side of the page.
This AEM-led industry initiative recognizes individuals whose inventions, ideas, leadership and courage have contributed significantly to the growth and strength of our industry and our quality of life. Since its inception in 1993, more than 30 industry leaders have been inducted into the Construction Equipment Hall of Fame.
“We face the challenges of a shrinking workforce, insufficient funding for an overburdened infrastructure and a changing global marketplace,” said
