Jon Wee and Owen Morse (The Passing Zone) were chosen by the National Speakers Association to join Colin Powell, Ronald Reagan, Zig Ziglar, Earl Nightingale, Art Linkletter and others as members of the Speaker Hall of Fame. Inductees are evaluated through a rigorous and demanding process, and must demonstrate mastery in 7 categories: originality of material, uniqueness of style, experience, delivery technique, image, reputation, professionalism, and relating to their audiences. This award is given to speakers who have reached the top echelon of platform excellence.

In a ceremony in Orlando, FL this week, Jon Wee and Owen Morse accepted the award in their usual style, mixing heartfelt sentiment with a comedic performance. And, of course they couldn't resist tossing their trophies into the air, to the gasps of the audience of 1,500 professional speakers.
