Hall of Fame Nomination Form

The Washington Music Educators Hall of Fame was established by the WMEA Executive Board to give recognition for exceptional support, inspiration and outstanding contributions to the growth and development of music education, both public and private, in the state of Washington. A maximum of 10 members and up to two honorary members will be selected each biennium for the Hall of Fame and inducted at our state biennial conference.
