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.
All members of NATSO may nominate a current or past NATSO member for this award.
Nominations must be received by August 15, 2019. Nominate any industry leader here.
If an award honoree is chosen, they will be recognized during NATSO Connect, which will be held February 6 - 9, 2020 in Denver, Colorado.
Contact Amy Toner with questions at (703) 739-8570 or atoner@natso.com.
