About the Hall of Fame Awards

Alabama Manufactured Housing
Industry’s Highest Recognition

The Alabama Manufactured Housing Industry Hall of Fame, established in 2001, is our industry’s premier award and is an opportunity for people who have contributed to our industry in Alabama to be recognized for their work and dedication. Nominees for the AMHA Hall of Fame must have made a significant contribution to the industry; owned, managed, or been part of a successful business that contributed to the manufactured housing industry; and been active in the manufactured housing industry in the state of Alabama for at least ten years. The Hall of Fame Committee scores and selects the inductees based on nominations from AMHA membership.
