“We’re building a strong team of advisors to help chart a meaningful, relevant future for the TRHOF,” said Doug Harris, newly installed Executive Director. “These pros add experience, strength, and balance to an organization committed to honoring the contributions of worthy broadcasters in every format, every Texas market, and every job description in which exemplary performance is present.”

A SIMPLIFIED NOMINATION AND VOTING PROCESS
