The
Houston Hall of Fame began in 1999 with ten
individuals being inducted that year. In 2002
it became an annual induction ceremony. To date
there have been 41 inductions.
The
Hall honors those who have achieved excellence
in the arts, athletics, business, entertainment,
law, medicine and public service. Each inductee
was either born in Houston or called Houston
home during the time of their greatest achievements.
The
hall is located in the George R. Brown Convention
Center outside the George Bush Grand Ballroom
on the third floor.
