Nomination Criteria  Nomination Form

The LVV Hall of Fame was created in 2003 to honor those men and women who have played a major role in the growth and development of the Lehigh Valley Velodrome, one of the greatest cycling venues in the world.

NOMINATION CRITERIA TO THE LEHIGH VALLEY VELODROME HALL OF FAME, CLASS OF '07

The Nominations Screening Committee of the Lehigh Valley Velodrome Hall of Fame (HoF) will screen submitted nominations based on the following criteria. Those nominations receiving a unanimous recommendation from the NSC on the qualifications will be paced on the Nominations Ballot and forwarded to the Honors Committee for consideration.

NOTE: It will be the responsibility of those submitting nominations of potential members of the HoF to provide to the NSC material confirming the fulfillment of the following criteria. The NSC will NOT guarantee that it will consider accomplishments or character aspects of potential nominees that are not submitted in their nominating materials.

Competitors:

  2. The nominated individual must have raced in events at the LVV in five separate seasons. The seasons need not have been consecutive, and special circumstances that prevented the completion of this requirement by the nominee will be considered by the NSC.
  3. The nominated individual must have demonstrated in the eyes of the NSC a commitment to furthering the goals and vision of the LVV – including but not limited to coaching in the LVV’s developmental programs, encouraging participation at the LVV by other elite-level riders, and promoting the programs and operations of the LVV in other venues as appropriate.
  4. The nominated individual must have demonstrated in the eyes of the NSC a devotion to the positive ideals of the sport of cycling in both their on and off-the –track activities and attitude.
  5. Individuals meeting the above criteria will have their nominations forwarded to the Honors Committee automatically if they have achieved any of the following:
    • Represented their home country in a track-cycling event in an Olympic Games. (Competitors who were named to an Olympic team for a country which subsequently decided not to participate in the Olympics will be viewed as meeting this qualification.)
