The Cured Meats Hall of Fame Award was established to recognize individuals that have shown long-standing excellence in the production of cured meats. One person per year will be selected to receive the award unless otherwise recommended. Award winners have actively participated in the ACMCs for several years and state cured meat shows. In addition, they demonstrated exceptional ability in the production of cured meats, were involved in AAMP activities and were willing to share knowledge and information with others in the meat industry. If you would like to nominate an AAMP member for the Cured Meats Hall of Fame, download the nomination form. The deadline is March 31.
