2013 NAMBA Nationals
NAMBA International continues to grow with the efforts of dedicated people who
are willing to sacrifice their time, talent, and ideas for the promotion of model
boating. Many people in NAMBA’s history have shown outstanding leadership,
devotion, and expertise in keeping NAMBA the great organization that it is. The
first nominees were inducted in 1981 at the Nationals in Amarillo, TX. Five
inductees were honored with beautiful brass emblems mounted on a walnut and
brass plaque. They also received a beautiful embroidered Hall of Fame jacket
patch.
