Tom Salm inducted in to North Liberty’s Hall of Fame

Tom Salm, North Liberty’s mayor who died in May, was inducted into the North Liberty Community Hall of Fame Thursday night.
“Tom stepped into the mayor’s office in a time of turmoil in North Liberty,” City Administrator Ryan Heiar said in remarks presenting the award. “Nevertheless, he accepted the challenge with courage and enthusiasm. Tom was measured, worked with others, and lead North Liberty back in the right direction.”
The award honors those who have demonstrated commitment and sacrifice in service to the North Liberty community.
It was first awarded in 2013, during North Liberty’s centennial, to Russ Gerdin, a philanthropist and founder of Heartland Express, and Natlie Wilkerson, who, among other things, helped found the North Liberty Community Pantry.
