NAMSC Maple Hall of Fame: 2025 Nominations

NAMSC Maple Hall of Fame: Updates & 2025 Nominations

Most everyone in the maple industry is aware of the International Maple Hall of Fame, located in Croghan, New York. Since 1977, the Hall of Fame has honored over 100 individuals who have made a consistent and constant contribution to the maple industry, both in their local environment and internationally. Being inducted into the Hall of Fame is deemed the highest honor that can be bestowed to an individual by their peers.

For the 2025 induction process, the Hall of Fame committee is seeking nominations for recognition. Anyone is invited to submit nominations. The criteria used to select candidates is: 

• Candidates must have demonstrated significant contributions to improving and advancing the maple industry in North America.
• The nominee’s contributions must have or continue to have a positive  impact within the maple syrup industry at the local, national, and especially the International level. 
• Posthumous nominations will not be accepted except on a case-by case basis and should be submitted within 2 years of the passing of the suggested nominee. 
• If for extenuating circumstances the nominees coming forward do not include 2 deserving individuals, the committee may consider one or in extreme cases, none.  

Nominations need to explain the rationale for nominating with solid evidence of accomplishments. A one-page nomination letter is sufficient for consideration by the committee. Nominations are due by September 15th to Ray Bonenberg; maplesidesugarbush@gmail.com or to any committee member.
