CRSI Foundation Legends

CRSI and the CRSI Foundation owe their existence to those that came before, setting the tone and direction of the organization, while sustaining and evolving it through periods when leadership and consistency were imperative.

To honor these fine people to whom we owe our current successes, the Foundation established its Hall of Fame to which the Board of Directors occasionally inducts exceptional leaders and contributors.

To qualify for nomination, one must have exemplified significant contributions to the advancement of the purposes of the CRSI Foundation. Any corporate entity may be considered for induction providing the corporation is a CRSI member in good standing and meets the criteria for significant contributions to the advancement of the purposes of CRSI Foundation.

The general guidelines are as follows:

  1. Must be a member or former member of CRSI in good standing
  2. Length of service in CRSI and/or the CRSI Foundation
  3. Positions held in CRSI and/or the CRSI Foundation
  4. Local, regional or national CRSI and/or the CRSI Foundation involvement
  5. Significant contributions to CRSI and/or the CRSI Foundation
  6. Significant contributions as an industry leader
  7. Stature of the candidate in business and the community
