Nominations Open for the Montana Business Hall of Fame

Montana State University Billings (MSUB), the College of Business at MSUB and the MSUB Foundation are pleased to announce the third annual call for nominations for the statewide Montana Business Hall of Fame. All are invited to nominate a business leader they believe is worthy of recognition. Because many people are deserving of recognition, previous nominations may be re-submitted.

The Montana Business Hall of Fame recognizes business leaders who have been successful in private enterprise 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.

Last year’s class included these outstanding business leaders: Don and Marilyn Floberg (Billings), Greg Gianforte (Bozeman), and Tom Scott (Dayton, WY). These individuals were honored at An Evening With Terry Bradshaw dinner on September 10, 2015. At least two new members will be inducted this year.

Business leaders who are selected for the Montana Business Hall of Fame are recognized for their contributions to Montana within the past 25 years. 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

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 will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at an awards ceremony held this fall.

This year’s ceremony will be held on October 11, 2016 at The Radisson Hotel Billings in Billings, MT. The featured speaker will be actor, author, director, and producer Henry Winkler.
