JA Hall of Fame | Junior Achievement of South Central Kentucky

JA of South Central Kentucky - Business Hall of Fame

JA honors Hall of Fame Laureates for their leadership and success in business, and community involvement.

Hall of Fame Laureates
In 1992, the Business Hall of Fame was created to honor the lives and accomplishments of extraordinary South Central Kentuckians.  Hall of Fame laureates are nominated by members of the community and then selected by an independent committee.
Over the years, Junior Achievement has honored individuals who epitomize five key standards of excellence:
    •    Entrepreneurial spirit and achievement
    •    Exceptional role model for youth
    •    Economic impact on area
    •    Business leadership
    •    Commitment to the goals of Junior Achievement
The Business Hall of Fame, presented by BB&T, is displayed at the Knicely Conference Center in Bowling Green, KY.
