Congratulations to these Hall of Fame finalists.  It's a high honor to be selected for this list. From this list, up to 5 individuals will be selected for induction into the Hall of Fame by the Voting Committee.  All those in the Ultimate community who are familiar with these candidates are encouraged to provide any review and comment that they would like to have considered by the voters. This feedback, both laudatory and critical, is an important part of the committee's consideration and we encourage the candid participation of all those who have had personal experience with the candidates. All feedback will be kept strictly confidential and will be available only to the committee members as part of their deliberations. 

Please complete a Google Docs survey (responses will be anonymous unless otherwise designated).  This survey will close Sunday, December 11, 2011.

Thank You,
