HISTORY

The Entrepreneurial & Business Excellence (EBE) Hall of Fame was created to encourage, promote, and recognize outstanding entrepreneurship and business excellence. This program was formed as a result of a recognized need to foster and honor entrepreneurial success and business innovation and excellence in our region.

The primary objectives of the EBE Hall of Fame include, but are not limited to:

• Hosting an Annual Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony to be held in the fall each year
• Fostering entrepreneurship and mentoring the next generation of entrepreneurs

The EBE Hall of Fame is Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan's ceremony to honor outstanding entrepreneurs and business leaders who: 

• Inspire through intense vision
• Have built and sustained growing businesses
• Create jobs in our region

The EBE Hall of Fame has recognized over 100 entrepreneurs and their businesses.  The Annual Induction Ceremony consistently has over 500 attendees ranging from college students to entrepreneurs to corporations and many other industries.
