Hall of Fame Honorees
Celebrating the individuals whose outstanding achievements and lasting impact have earned them a place in our Hall of Fame.
The Hall of Fame was created in 2009 as a way to recognize NCA members that have gone above and beyond in their service to the candle industry. It was first awarded in 2010. These individuals have volunteered their time to important NCA Boards and committees, where they have taken leadership roles. They’ve been involved in key events that shape our industry including the anti-dumping duty and ASTM standards. The products their companies produce are safe and creative, helping take the home fragrance arena to the next level. They were nominated by fellow NCA members and selected for this honor for all these reasons and more.
