NAMI National Education Hall of Fame 2017
Deadline June 5th
Across the United States and Mexico, Canada and Italy, thousands of program leaders volunteer their time and energy to help others lead better lives. Each year, NAMI honors program leaders who have dedicated themselves to bringing insight and hope to their communities by including them in NAMI's National Education Hall of Fame.
The Hall of Fame recognizes people who have led a large number of classes, presentations, support groups or trainings. With your help, NAMI will send your volunteers a certificate to recognize their achievement.
This honor is an opportunity for you to acknowledge your volunteers' hard work and persistence. NAMI California encourages you to receive the certificates at your NAMI Affiliate location and add your own personal touch to your honoree's Hall of Fame inclusion.
Please use this Excel document to tell NAMI who in your state has qualified this year. Deadline for submissions to NAMI California is 5pm PT on June 5th, 2017. Details on who qualifies for what and how to submit this information are below.
Who qualifies for Hall of Fame
Program leaders can be awarded for either Silver Level achievement or Gold Level achievement in each program. They must meet the requirements within a single program -- programs cannot be combined. For example, someone who led 30 NAMI Ending the Silence presentations would qualify for a Silver Level honor. Someone who led 15 NAMI Ending the Silence presentations as well as 15 NAMI In Our Own Voice presentations would not. However, if they meet the requirements within each program, people may qualify for multiple Hall of Fame honors.
If a person has already received a Hall of Fame honor at a specific level, please do not nominate them again for the same level.
Here you can review
past Hall of Fame honorees

How to use the spreadsheet
- Enter information exactly as you want it written. The information you enter on this spreadsheet is exactly how your honorees' name will appear on their certificate and how NAMI will address the certificate to them. NAMI uses exactly what you enter, so please double-check spelling and addresses before submitting the spreadsheet to NAMI California to submit to NAMI National.
- Select from the drop-down options. The below columns will not let you type information in. Instead, you must choose one of the options from the drop-down box that appears when you click on the box, then click on the arrow that appears.
- Location type - pre selected to NAMI Affiliate Location
- Program
- Role
- Level
- Title
- Consider acknowledging your honorees in person. NAMI California recommends that you acknowledge your honorees' achievements in person by choosing to give out certificates at a local event. NAMI California encourages you to enter a NAMI Affiliate location where the certificates will be sent, rather than individuals' homes or to the State Office.
NAMI's national education programs could not happen without NAMI volunteers' hard work and passion, or without your support and dedication. NAMI thanks you for helping NAMI honor what makes NAMI part of a life-changing movement.
