Founded in 1973 by the Board of Visitors of the Culverhouse College of Business at The University of Alabama, the Alabama Business Hall of Fame honors, preserves and perpetuates the names and outstanding accomplishments of business personalities who have brought lasting fame to the State of Alabama, whether it occurred in Alabama or not. A 14-member board of directors establishes the criteria for nominations and governs the Hall of Fame.
The Alabama Business Hall of Fame Board of Directors now seeks nominations for inductees. They can be nominated on the Alabama Business Hall of Fame website at abhof.culverhouse.ua.edu/nominations or by contacting Courtney Page Miller at cmiller@culverhouse.ua.edu.
All candidates must have been deceased or in retirement at least three years, except for those who are 65 years of age and older, and still active in business. To be eligible for selection, an individual must have made a significant impact on the development of their community and state by promoting the free enterprise system and entrepreneurship.
