Drawn from the ranks of athletes, coaches, technical officials, and leaders, the inductees are true luminaries of the sport. The new members were nominated by their national federations, evaluated by the PAWF Hall of Fame Commission, and then presented to the PAWF Executive Board for consideration and approval.  After careful review, the PAWF Executive Board unanimously approved the Commission’s recommendation.
