Tom Kula - HOF 2023 Pioneer of Dog Agility hps

Induction into the USDAA Hall of Fame is reserved for those who have made the sport what it is today and those who are shaping what it becomes tomorrow. The three categories of awards are Pioneers of Dog Agility, Meritorious Service and Volunteer of the Year.

The USDAA Board of Directors established the Hall of Fame in the early 1990s to celebrate individuals who make a lasting impact on the sport of dog agility – by teaching, leading, developing new techniques or methods, volunteering, publishing, coordinating key events, and promoting the sport regionally, nationally or internationally. The virtual home of the Hall of Fame, on the USDAA website, features short biographies and photos of the inductees. Their stories also appear regularly on the USDAA Facebook page.

Do you know someone who is deserving of Hall of Fame recognition in one of these categories? Submit a nomination today. Nominations must be submitted by September 17 to be considered for this year. For more information and the nomination form, visit https://www.usdaa.com/awards/new-hall-of-fame.cfm.
