PROCEDURE FOR NOMINATION
It is important that we have in place a process that will a) recognize any deserving person, b) will be fair, considering all areas of the state and all categories of nominees (coaches, participants, officials, supporters, etc.), and, will be a practical, workable process. Therefore, the following selection procedure is in place.

1.  Local representative receives nominations by June for a May banquet.

2.  Local Committee meets and selects 15 HOF nominations and 10 Lifetime Service in July/August.

3.  These names are forwarded to the HOF President and Director in August.

4.  Each California Wrestling Hall Of Fame Committee member (25) will receive a list of 15 possible nominees along with a profile on each nominee. The member will select(vote) a maximum of 10 names of people he/she feels are worthy candidates in September.

5.  The vote from each member will be tabulated. The top 10 nominees, as a result of tabulating the lists submitted by the members will be the hall of fame finalists.

6.  The Selection Committee (10) will receive a packet on each finalist (resume, photo, and letters of recommendation), plus a ballot.  Each Selection Committee member will vote yes or no on each finalist and this will be treated in a confidential manner.  Those finalists receiving 80% positive votes will be inducted into the California Wrestling Hall Of Fame. (8 of 10 Votes – YES)

7.  Names will be announced in November.

    I’d like to nominate Elmer Pfaffenberger. Past coach at Woodland HS, he has passed away and has been overlooked. He would be in the Sac-Joaquin Section. Started Ranking teams and wrestlers in the Sacramento Bee in the 60s. Also started pushing for certificates weigh ins. He helped wrestling grow in Northern California. Ron Baldwin, HOF, 2008

    Dennis,
    I looked at the CWHOF website but am still uncertain about exactly how to make nominations. Is there an actual form to fill out. I have quite a few names of officials and one coach who I believe are worthy of consideration for the CWHOF Lifetime of Service Awards.

    Ernie Del Rio (Santa Maria and North Fork) – 45 years as an official, has been President of the SCWOA, President of the Los Padres Wrestling Officials Association, 3 time state meet official.
    Jim Gin – (Shell Beach) 45 years as a high school official, has been President of the SCWOA and is the current Treasurer, President of the Los Padres Wrestling Officials Association.
    Dennis Wren-(Maybe already in)(Bakersfield) 50+ years as a high school official, many time state meet official, officiated college for decades, long time instructional chair and assigner for the Kern County Wrestling Officials. Lifetime of Service award from the California Wrestling Hall of Fame.
    Amador Galvez – (Bakersfield) – 48 years as a high school official, may time state meet official, instructional chair Kern County Wrestling Officials Association.
    Chris Monteiro – (Paso Robles) – 40+ years of coaching wrestling at Paso Robles High School. Also coached high school and youth football for decades.
