The NASPE Hall of Fame honors outstanding individuals who have achieved new levels of excellence in sport; inspired others by their example of what quality, physical activity and sport programs can do to make a better world, and make significant contributions to maintaining sport and physical activity as an integral part of the total education of a child.

Shannon has devoted her time to health and wellness for women and girls and started the Shannon Miller Foundation which is dedicated to fighting childhood obesity through fitness and nutrition.

The banquet will be held during the 125th Annual Convention of the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education , Recreation & Dance (AAHPERD) on March 19^th, 2010 in Indianapolis.  Others to be honored that evening will be the National Physical Education Teachers and Athletic Directors of the Year.
