timeline of the 2026 Honorees

• Call for Nominations Opened 

Nominees were selected from a pool of past or present members of SACSA or even vendors/sponsors who have demonstrated support for SACSA. Posthumous submissions of persons who were SACSA members or vendors were also eligible for submission. A subcommittee of SACSA foundation trustees reviewed and selected this inaugural class. Each honoree’s nominator or champion agreed to serve as facilitators of the fundraising process for their honoree. This will include leading the campaign to raise a minimum of $1,500 in recognition of their contributions to the Association.
