The Baking Hall of Fame Nomination Process

Candidates for the Baking Hall of Fame can be nominated by any individual or organization that has an interest or relationship to baking. Inductees are recognized for their achievements in organizational growth and development, equipment design and innovation, advancements in ingredient technology and processing or in a service related to the commercial baking industry.

The award was created in 2005 to recognize innovation and entrepreneuralism across the commercial baking industry. Nominations are reviewed by a ten-member committee based on the scope of recognition for which the nominee is known, their impact upon the industry and their level of professional achievement. The recommendations of the Baking Hall of Fame Advisory Committee are reviewed by the Executive Committee of the American Society of Baking which then elects a number of individuals each year based upon four general categories - Baker, Equipment Manufacturing, Ingredient Technology and Industry Service.

The election results are announced during the first week of January and the induction ceremony is held in conjunction with the Society's annual meeting held in March.

Nominations may be made electronically as indicated above or by requesting a nomination form from the Society by calling 707.762.8800 or email at Baking Hall of Fame Information
