The eight members of The Bond Buyer's 2026 Hall of Fame class helped shape not only major financings and institutions, but some of the laws, analytical approaches, market practices and professional networks that underpin municipal finance today. "This year's Hall of Fame class reflects the extraordinary range of ways that individuals can shape municipal finance over the course of a career,," said Mike Scarchilli, Editor in Chief of The Bond Buyer. All applications were judged by a panel of The Bond Buyer's editorial leadership and a diverse group of municipal finance leaders. This fifth class of groundbreaking Hall of Fame inductees will speak and be honored at a Sept. 15 dinner in Chicago at the close of The Bond Buyer INFRASTRUCTURE event. DAN HUGEDan Huge has combined public-sector leadership with deep analytical expertise throughout his municipal finance career, including service as public finance director for the State of Indiana.
