Quad Cities Area Business Hall of Fame

Description

Celebrate in an evening of honoring outstanding community leaders who represent the very best in Quad City Area businesses. These individuals have made major contributions to the regional business community and demonstrate the highest standards of business ethics. We will celebrate a young entrepreneur who exhibits the characteristics of our laureates and represents the future of our business community. We will also recognize an outstanding volunteer who is dedicated to advancing JA's mission in our community by participating in a variety of JA learning experiences and encouraging others to be a part of JA. All the honorees have inspired us with their dedication to hard work and achievement. More importantly, they serve as role models to our youth, inspiring them and giving them the vivid illustrations of the enduring opportunities presented by our free enterprise system. Proceeds from the event will help further JA's mission to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. 2025 Honorees: Laureate: James I.
