NMNRA Hall of Fame

The Best of the Best of Our Sport

Each year, the NMRA conducts a Hall of Fame Election. The process was managed by Lee Graff, past winner, and past Member and Officer of the NMRA Board of Directors up until 2010. Leonard Sonnenberg, past Member and Officer of the NMRA Board of Directors currently reviews the competitive record of every member of the NMRA and put those who meet the requirements on a series of election ballots that are sent to a group of members of the NMRA who have been selected by Leonard to vote on the qualified candidates’. If someone is selected, they are honored at the July NMRA International Championship Tournament Banquet and Inducted into the NMRA Hall of Fame
