Please submit your nominations: Montana Business Hall of Fame

Montana State University Billings (MSUB), the College of Business at MSUB and the MSUB Foundation are joining their efforts to create the statewide Montana Business Hall of Fame.

Located in Billings, the hub of business in Montana, the Montana Business Hall of Fame recognizes exceptional business leaders who have added to the growth of business in Montana. By identifying outstanding examples of business leadership, the Hall of Fame recognizes, shares, and documents stories of success and innovation. The Hall of Fame creates an awareness of appreciation of Montana’s rich heritage of business leadership. Business leaders who are selected for the Hall of Fame are widely known for their contributions to Montana. Recognition is given to business leaders who have been successful in private enterprise in Montana.

Initially, the Montana Business Hall of Fame will select four business leaders for the inaugural class and then will induct at least one new member each year moving forward.

Business leaders who are selected for the Montana Business Hall of Fame are recognized for their contributions to Montana. Posthumous nominations are welcome. The criteria for acceptance into the Montana Business Hall of Fame include:

* Outstanding business performance

* High standard of ethics

* Willingness to take risks

* Concern for the customer and for the well-being of employees

* Innovative business ventures

* Contributions to their local communities and the state

Each year a request for nominations is sent to the MSUB College of Business Advisory Board, statewide community leaders, and past recipients of the award. Anyone interested in acknowledging the outstanding contributions of Montana business leaders may submit a nomination to the MSUB College of Business. Those selected for the honor are inducted into the Hall of Fame at an awards ceremony held in the fall each year.

This year’s ceremony will be held on October 2, 2014 at the Big Horn Resort in Billings, MT. The featured speaker will be former mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani.

Sincerely,

Barbara Wheeling
