About the Alaska Business Hall of Fame
In 1987, Alaska Business Magazine began the Alaska Business Hall of Fame to honor outstanding individuals of Alaskan business. Since then, the event has become one of the state’s most prestigious events, inducting new Laureates on an annual basis. The event is a fundraiser for Junior Achievement of Alaska, a statewide non-profit organization dedicated to the economic empowerment of 20,000 K-12 students in Alaska.
