UNM's ASM seeks nominations to its Hall of Fame

The Robert O. ASM (ASM) at the University of New Mexico seeks nominations for outstanding alumni to be inducted into the Anderson Hall of Fame. In its 16th year, the Anderson Hall of Fame honors alumni whose distinguished careers serve as a model to the next generation of business leaders. More than 14,000 students have graduated from the ASM and 45 of those graduates have been inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Every year ASM honors a select group of alumni whose commitment to continuing education and community service are matched by their commitment to professional success.

The criteria includes:

* Professional success: status in organization, level of responsibility, entrepreneurial success (if applicable), demonstrated impact on organizational growth, success resulting from professional activities.

* Contribution to the community: public service, involvement and leadership in community activities, involvement and leadership in professional organizations.

* Involvement/support for continuing education (including ASM/UNM)
1. Ongoing personal and professional development and advanced degrees.
2. Participation/support and commitment to lifelong learning opportunities for others.

Outstanding alumni who have distinguished themselves in their professions and have made significant contributions to their communities may be nominated. For the second year ASM will also recognize three outstanding young alumni. These are alumni who have distinguished themselves in the short time since graduating from the Anderson Schools and are the kind of individuals who may be future Hall of Fame inductees.
