SPECIAL REPORT
Baking Hall of Fame
positive impact
A new nomination
process focuses on the
most important reason
for getting into the
Baking Hall of Fame.
by Dan Malovany
W
When evaluating nominees, the Baking Hall of Fame
Selection Committee historically focused on a candidate's
professional achievements, character, education
and other attributes. For 2024, the committee narrowed
its focus to a single criterion: positive impact on the baking
industry.
" This makes it easier for the nominator to zoom in on
the most important and most relevant aspects of their
candidate's contributions to the industry, " noted Rowdy
Brixey,
the committee's
Brixey Engineering Inc. " It's about 'positive' impact, not
just impact, on the baking industry and not just any industry.
Otherwise, you can get distracted by factors and
achievements that are important but not as big in this
industry as in other industries. "
While contribution to associations and other factors
are important, Mr. Brixey stressed that the nomination
should also answer this question: Why should their candidates
be in the Baking Hall of Fame?
" We're looking for a story focused solely on their positive
impact versus historical data points, such as starting
a company or building a plant, " Mr. Brixey explained.
" Those are great achievements, but every growing company
has done them. We want to know the impact they
had on the industry outside of building a company
and a brand. The more specifics, the more impactful
the nomination. "
He advised nominators to describe the positive impact
to the industry in detail and provide supporting
materials like news articles, videos and letters
of recommendation.
" The nomination should be almost like you're making
a movie or writing a biography, " Mr. Brixey said.
" It needs to show the achievements and be engaging.
chairman and president of
Likewise, the letters of recommendation shouldn't simply
say, 'I support the nomination of the person,' but
they should corroborate the candidate's positive impact
on the industry as a supplier, coworker, mentor or even
a competitor. "
The letters should also explain why people support
the nomination instead of stating they simply support
the candidate.
" Tell a compelling story that sheds further light on
the person being nominated, " Mr. Brixey
said. " How did the candidate positively
impact you or others in the baking
industry? "
He encouraged nominators to
visit the Baking Hall of Fame's
page on asbe.org and read the
short biographies of the more
than 100 previous inductees.
" Each of them tells a story
about the difference they made
and why they were inducted, and
people can use them as a guideline to fill out your nomination, "
Mr. Brixey said. " I don't know of any better way
you can get condensed, consolidated tips than to read
those biographies. It will make a huge improvement to
new nominations or previous nominations that didn't
make it into the Hall of Fame. "
He urged previous nominators to provide additional
supporting documentation and letters of recommendation
that better describe the candidate for the committee
to consider for next year's class.
This year's induction ceremony will be at the
American Society of Baking's BakingTech, during a luncheon
on Feb. 29 in Chicago.
