Junior Achievement Alberta Business Hall of Fame Gala 2017

In 1975, Junior Achievement of the United States launched The Business Hall of Fame concept to honour those individuals who have made outstanding contributions to free enterprise and to society. Junior Achievement of Canada quickly followed suit in 1979 by establishing the Canadian Business Hall of Fame and encouraging JA charters across the country to recognize leaders in their regions. Today, there are 2 national and no less than 75 regional JA Business Hall of Fame events in states and provinces coast to coast across North America.

In 1980, the Junior Achievement  Alberta Business Hall of Fame was unveiled to identify and chronicle the lives of great Alberta men and women whose business leadership and community stewardship shaped the ways that people live, work, and interact.

With 76 Alberta men and women having the mark of distinction of being named as a laureate, the Junior Achievement Alberta Business Hall of Fame stands alone as Alberta’s highest business leadership honour.

JA created this signature event to help better understand and learn from the great Alberta leadership legacies that have been developed and nurtured over time. Capturing and illuminating the lessons of the past will undoubtedly assist us in better preparing leaders for tomorrow.
