About

It all started more than 20 years ago when a group of dedicated towing professionals, the Friends of Towing, decided to recognize outstanding individuals in the towing and recovery industry worldwide, record the industry’s history, collect and display artifacts and memorabilia in a museum setting, and provide information about the industry to the public. The first Hall of Fame class consisted of 27 members and today has grown to include over 300 distinguished towing professionals.

To Our Members, On Tuesday September 1, 2020 Jeffrey Godwin, 1st Vice President of ITRHFM, opened discussion with the Executive and General Board members pertaining to the upcoming Executive Board elections that were scheduled to be held in October of this year and the ongoing COVID-19 situation. Having not been able to meet in person at all this year, and also having to postpone the Annual Membership Meeting that was scheduled for October 11, 2020, Mr. Godwin made a motion that would suspend the rules according to our by-laws on elections and meeting requirements. Our by-laws follow Robert's Rules of Order and there is a provision in Robert's Rules of Order that allows for the suspension of the rules when required other than for specific circumstances where it would be prejudicial. After discussion was opened to the Executive and General Board on suspending the meeting and election rules in our by-laws, Mr. Godwin made the motion, it was seconded by Mr. Gratzianna and our board was in favor. As voted, the International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum will resume with Executive Board elections being held in 2021 and the General Board elections resuming the following year. As a member, you will receive an Annual Membership Report later this year that will keep you informed of Museum business for 2020. The board and/or executive board will also continue meetings as required to manage the business of the ITRHFM during this period. We do appreciate all our members and your support through this uncertain time. We thank those of you who have reached out to the museum to see how we were doing and thank all who have become new members or who have renewed memberships. Your support keeps us going. If you have any questions, we are available to you.
