The Greater Omaha Chamber’s Omaha Business Hall of Fame annually inducts civic and business leaders whose accomplishments are outstanding and historically significant. No set number of inductees will be selected in any year.

Purpose

• Preserve the role of individual business achievement in Greater Omaha’s history through a permanent Omaha Business Hall of Fame.

• Recognize individuals who have significantly contributed to the business history of the Greater Omaha area, either through sustained superior accomplishment or through a specific important achievement.

• Foster recognition by the general public of the importance of business and free enterprise to the development, future growth, and overall quality of life in Greater Omaha.

• Contribute to the overall business image of Greater Omaha.


Criteria

• Professionals and persons from large and small businesses contributing to the free enterprise system will be considered. The individual may be the founder or someone who contributed significantly to company development and may be active, retired, or deceased. Civic and/or philanthropic activities are relevant but not the primary factor in selection.

• The volunteer selection committee seeks individuals representing ethnic diversity who have demonstrated exceptional business leadership within their community.

• The laureates may or may not currently hold the position in which they achieved major success and are being honored.

• Nominees must have resided in the Greater Omaha metropolitan area during their contribution to the community but do not need to live there currently.

Nominations are due Thursday, Feb. 15, 2024 at 11:59 PM.
