JA Nashville Business Leaders Hall of Fame
When: June 2021
Where: Music City Center
Time: 6-9 p.m.
JA honors Hall of Fame Laureates for their leadership and success in business and community involvement.
Just as there are halls of fame established to recognize high achievement in sports and music, the Nashville Business Hall of Fame was established in 1991 by Junior Achievement of Middle Tennessee to venerate icons of commerce and industry. The criteria for laureate selection includes a demonstration of business excellence, courageous thinking and acting, inspired leadership, and community-mindedness.
This year's event is scheduled for June 2021.
For more information on how to attend this year's event or to become a sponsor please email Abby Banks or call 615-627-1183.
