GMIAA Hall of Fame

To nominate someone for the Georgia Military Institute's Hall of Fame, you will need to gather all the necessary documents and information about the nominee, such as their name, contact information, military service history, and any relevant achievements or contributions to GMI.

You will also need to write a letter of recommendation explaining why the nominee deserves to be inducted into the GMI Hall of Fame, highlighting their outstanding military career, leadership qualities, and/or their contributions to GMI as cadre or alumnus.

Once you have gathered all the required information and documentation, please submit them to Dr. Jimenez at jmnz.el@gmail.com before the deadline of 15 June 2024. It's always a good idea to follow up with Dr. Jimenez after submitting your nomination to ensure that everything has been received and is in order.

Remember that the nomination process is competitive, and only a select few will be chosen for induction into the Hall of Fame each year. So make sure your nomination is detailed, persuasive, and presents a compelling case for why your nominee deserves this honor.
