Members of the Hall of Fame come from both the private and public sectors and are chosen by a distinguished panel comprised of existing FIA Hall of Fame members and global industry executives. They are selected based on their lifetime contributions to the industry, with a focus on demonstrated leadership, innovative and impactful achievement, break-through accomplishment, industry collaboration, volunteerism and dedication.
While members reflect the diverse nature of the industry with unique backgrounds and experiences, one thing that unites them all is a passionate determination to build strong, healthy, safe and competitive markets.
