The Arizona Music & Entertainment Hall of Fame consists of a BOARD OF DIRECTORS (who run the day to day operations of the organization) and the ADVISORY BOARD. The ADVISORY BOARD consists of many people from the entertainment community in Arizona. They are the people who nominate and then vote on all new inductions into the AMEHOF. When the final votes are counted each year, the Advisory Board will have it's annual meeting and the Board of Directors will announce the results of the voting. We feel that a large Advisory Board will offer us a better chance to include all of the different fields of entertainment and will assist us in keeping the process fair.

We have come up with 5 major categories of the entertainment field we hope to include in the inductions.

• MEDIA: (TV, Radio, Theater, Writers, Newspapers, Promoters, Recording Studios)
• ROOTS: (Classic R&B, Folk, Blues, Jazz, Blues Rock, Americana, Latino, Gospel, Native American, Reggae/world beat)
• ROCK: (Modern R&B, Classic rock, Punk, Metal, Rap, Alternative, Christian, Pop)
• COUNTRY: (Traditional, Pop, Country Rock, Bluegrass)
• FINE ARTS: (Symphony Orchestra, Theater, Musicals, Dance, Songwriters, Poetry, Visual Art)

In the future, we plan to form “sub-committees” within the Advisory Board who will represent each of the different areas of entertainment. These Advisory Board members will nominate names from their categories for the nominees list. We feel it's best if the experts in their fields inform us as to who deserves to be nominated from their particular areas of entertainment. This plan will take awhile to finish, but we hope to have the category committees in place eventually.

To join the AMEHOF Advisory Board you must submit an application. The application is voted on by the Board of Directors. To submit an application you must first be recommended by a member of the Advisory Board or the Board of Directors. Contact the Advisory Board Committee Chairperson for more information
