Mackinac Island Stone Skipping Hall of Fame
Management Processes
Scope
The Mackinac Island Stone Skipping Hall of Fame (MISSHOF) is focused on recognizing outstanding contributors to the sport; competitors, officials, and others.
- Although sporting records and statistics may be a factor in the decision making process, the mission of the MISSHOF is not that of an authoritative or governing body for stone skipping record or statistics.
- The MISSHOF operates under the auspices of the MISS&GC but strives to maintain autonomy in the election process. It is a world wide organization that is open to stone skippers globally.

The MISSHOF is headed by the HOF Director. Personnel are as follows.
