Nominations Being Taken For Connecticut Business Hall Of Fame

HARTFORD — The Connecticut Business Hall Of Fame announced that it has started accepting nominations of Connecticut business leaders and leading companies for entry into the Connecticut Business Hall Of Fame. The Class of 2006 Induction Ceremony is scheduled to take place in March 2007 where the winners will be announced during a breakfast awards ceremony.

Nominations are now being taken online, via the Connecticut Business Hall Of Fame website at www.ctbhof.com, for nine different categories, including business leaders from small, medium, and large size businesses and companies of various sizes as well. Nominations are also accepted for corporate volunteers and for business graduate students.

One student will be picked to receive a scholarship award. The nomination period is open until January 31, and costs $35 per nomination. Winners will be chosen by an awards committee established by the Connecticut Business Hall Of Fame.

“We are very encouraged about the response the Business Hall Of Fame has received already to our event programming and the nomination and awards process. As we have created our outreach and marketing program throughout the state, we’ve seen a true response from all points around the state. From Stamford to Suffield and from New London to New Milford, businesses and organizations have contacted us about getting involved and planning joint events. I hope that our awards committee will be able to evaluate nomination materials from sources throughout the state as well,” said Ron Dresner, director, Connecticut Business Hall Of Fame.

The Connecticut Business Hall Of Fame showcases successful companies and business leaders through business networking and industry events that are held throughout the state. The organization partners with private and public organizations and associations and state corporations to promote economic development.
