2025 Washington Business Hall of Fame
The leaders who have built the Washington region into what it is today know that our economic vitality depends on the best in business inspiring the next in business. Every year, a cohort of our most prolific business and community leaders receive the region’s signature lifetime achievement award, joining the more than 180 Laureates in the Washington Business Hall of Fame who serve as role models to the next generation of business leaders.
Junior Achievement’s century-long legacy of connecting what works in business with what works in education is fundamental to both our mission and the Washington Business Hall of Fame program. The Hall of Fame brings together a dynamic collective of leaders and learners through an experience that connects and inspires us all, underpinned by JA’s vision of providing access and opportunity to every student in the region.
Sponsorship of the Hall of Fame directly supports JA’s work to connect students to our region’s best in business – empowering them to think big and take control of their futures.
