Hall of Fame

Nominate an Industry Leader
The NATSO Hall of Fame award recognizes current or past NATSO members whose participation in their communities, the industry and our association brings honor to and serves as a source of pride for the travel plaza and truckstop industry.

Formerly the Distinguished Member award, the Hall of Fame award can be given to current or former members of NATSO who have provided significant leadership to the industry.
