How Hall of Fame Members Are Chosen
Going forward, the Board of Supervisors will create a Hall of Fame Ad Hoc Committee each year. The committee will be charged with choosing that year’s 10 inductees.

Supervisors on the board can nominate five individuals or businesses, with the criteria being that they have lived or been a business owner in Orange County for 10 years and have had one significant life experience, won a big award in Orange County, or been a civic leader.

Friday’s 10 a.m. ceremony will be held in the Board Hearing Room. Public viewing of the ceremony will be available in the courtyard of the County Administrative North Building. The ceremony can also be live-streamed on YouTube.
