The District Hall of Fame was established to reward good and effective leadership and to motivate good leaders to continue in a leadership capacity within the District of Optimist International.

In either case, the nominee’s club president must certify the nominee’s good standing with the club. The selection of candidates is accomplished by evaluating the criteria.
