Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame Inductees
Inductees have a place of honor in the Hall of Fame.
Since its founding in 1982, the Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame Selection Committee has chosen inductees by a system in which a volunteer has as much an opportunity to be
selected as an outstanding athlete in the professional or amateur ranks. Each year nominees are reviewed and (since 1982 when ten were selected along with
eight in 1983) four are selected and honored at an award banquet.
Through 2007, a total of 110 people have been recognized for excelling in sports on an amateur or professional level or for volunteering
their services to promote athletics in Chautauqua County. The Board of Directors encourages anyone who feels he knows of a person deserving inclusion
in the Hall of Fame to gather the necessary information to complete the nomination process and to do so.
