The Entrepreneurial & Business Excellence (EBE) Hall of Fame was created by Gorillas & Gazelles LLC in partnership with Bowling Green State University and The University of Toledo in 2006. This program was formed to encourage, promote and recognize outstanding entrepreneurship, family business, and business excellence in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan. The EBE Hall of Fame focuses on entrepreneurs and innovative businesses whose efforts are making outstanding contributions to the business community and the region’s economy.
