Newly minted Southeast Division Hall of Fame Inducts Six Bowlers

The Southeast Hall of Fame is the highest honor the Division can bestow on its members. The annual award recognizes individuals for their superior competitive achievements at the Division and National level, and/or exceptional contributions to the Division through service on boards, committees, and volunteerism. Nominations come from the clubs, and a HoF Committee evaluates applications. Elections are conducted by the SED Board.

In the inaugural year of the Southeast Hall of Fame, six bowlers met the standard for selection and were inducted in March 2022 at the Men’s and Women’s Southeast Open tournaments. Congratulations to the six bowlers inducted in the inaugural HoF class. Visit the SED HoF page.
