International Glove Association Hall of Fame and Helping Hand Awards

The International Glove Association is continuing with one of the glove industry's finest traditions!  The Hall of Fame was conceived and introduced in 1989 as a way to acknowledge individuals who have made significant contributions to our glove industry and to the IGA. 


In 2006 the IGA also recognized the need to honor current members who are making key contributions to the IGA, committed to growth and the IGA Mission Statement through the selfless giving of their time, effort and labor.
