While the New Jersey Sports Hall of Fame has taken the lead during the past twenty years in honoring many New Jersey athletes who have distinguished themselves in the world of sports, it is entirely fitting and proper to establish a broader-based hall of fame project that would allow the State to promote the accomplishments of such individuals who have excelled in many different fields of endeavor in addition to sports; c.
