Hall of Fame
-
The principles of leadership, integrity, personal sacrifice, significant and lasting contributions to the NCEA and/or material support to a beloved cause are ingredients of individual greatness. To recognize and honor such individuals who have gone over and beyond these things in regular support of the NCEA, the Hall of Fame was established in 2023-24.
The honorees must have made great and/or unusual contributions in support of the NCEA in personal time, effort, performance, and/or material and services over and above all ordinary expectations of the average supporter. Honorees were identified in three distinct categories: athletes (Legacy 2000-2007; Current 2008-2017), coaches, and special contributors.
“In 2023, current NCEA leadership engaged in a plan to recognize those individuals who made outstanding contributions to the NCEA and helped to establish the strong foundation upon which now stand,” said executive director Dr. Leah Fiorentino. “The purpose of this designation is to celebrate inductees who have done so much to advance the sport of Equestrian through the support of the NCEA. We would like to thank them for their leadership and the best way we know how to do this is with the Hall of Fame recognition. I have always been appreciative and impressed with their contributions as the Executive Director. My heartfelt congratulations to the honorees and thank you to them for all their work. I look forward to their continued involvement!”
