Membership in RAC is not mandatory. Any eligible person may receive an appointment as Member of the Hall, for outstanding achievement and excellence of the highest degree, for serious and sustained service to Amateur Radio in Canada, or to Amateur Radio at large.
Nomination or appointment for Member or Honorary Member of the Hall may be after the death of the nominee.
A person who is not a resident of Canada may be appointed only as an Honorary Member of the Hall. The other requirements for appointment as Honorary Member of the Hall are the same as for Member.
Only the RAC Board of Directors, by majority vote, is now allowed to nominate candidates for Honorary Member (those persons not residents of Canada). Because of the requirement for Canadian residency for appointment as Member of the Hall, it is incumbent upon the nominator to confirm the Canadian residency of a nominee prior to submitting a nomination.
Nominations shall be submitted to the Board of Trustees, on the Canadian Amateur Radio Hall of Fame Nomination FormNomination Form
, (available on request from RAC Headquarters and for download from the RAC web site) and shall include a biographical sketch or curriculum vitae. Three references shall be included for Member of the Hall. All nominations for Member of the Hall must be received at RAC Headquarters by the close of the last business day of September. Late nominations will be considered in the next year. Once received, all handling shall be conducted in a secure and confidential manner. On or before the last business day of November, the Chair of the Board of Trustees shall advise the Custodian (RAC) of the decisions of the Board of Trustees on appointments for the calendar year. The Board may appoint a person who has been nominated in a previous year. For this reason, no advice shall be issued to the nominator that the nomination has not resulted in an appointment, nor any reason given why an appointment has not been made as a result of that nomination. Also, no reason shall be given for an appointment.
