The Hall of Fame inductee is a prestigious recognition that was established in 1974 to honor an individual who embodies qualities such as honesty, high ethical standards, a spirit of sharing, a strong presence within their community and the Iowa State Auctioneers, and substantial contributions to the auction profession.
Each year, at the annual Conference, this distinguished individual is celebrated.
The selection of new inductees is entrusted to existing Hall of Fame members, and the induction ceremony takes place during a special presentation at the annual Conference.
