Individuals
Individuals may have served in any capacity. They may have been a military service-member, a civilian employee, a contract employee, a volunteer, or any combination thereof. They may also be someone external to the Department of Defense, who has made a significant contribution to conservation on Defense lands.
Lifetime contributions shall be limited to those individuals who spent at least 25 years of service to conservation on military lands and who had a lasting impact to the profession on one or more installations. This honor is not intended to mirror the NMFWA Lifetime Achievement Award. Nor is it appropriate to induct anyone due to a long career. This is intended only for those who leave a lasting mark by their actions.
For singular or multiple event honorees, the event(s) shall have been significant to the level that it affected the way conservation programs are managed by Department of Defense and its employees. It might be a new way of doing business or a precedent-setting event that improved conservation programs DoD-wide. It could be an act of heroism or sacrifice. It might be a political event or a simple innovation that makes common tasks easier. For these honorees, the nomination will focus on the spark of inspiration and the dedication of the individual to bring their idea to life. Regardless of what the individual has done before or since, it is that singular event that induction into the NMFWA Hall of Fame commemorates.

Organizations
Organizations may be governmental organizations, private (corporate) organizations, non-profit organizations, and any other group for which individual recognition is inappropriate. Organizations may be recognized for either singular events or for long-term contributions that positively impacted the way conservation program work within the Department of Defense. Long-term contributions require at least 25 years of association with conservation programs of the Department of Defense. Singular achievements shall meet the same lofty standards as those applicable to individuals.
